Hi Evelina,

I'm a big fan of The Plot and love the simplicity & clarity of this post. I'm a life sciences professor & have also had some run ins with ineffective bar graphs & wrote about it recently here: https://www.stonybrook.edu/commcms/alda-center/thelink/posts/benefits_and_burdens.php

Would love to know what you think.

Thanks for the great insights!
