DESCRIPTION
I presented this talk as part of a Give & Take session through Common Grounds- a student consulting collaborative at the University of Minnesota. We were asked to give a 5-minute presentation on an area of interest, and I chose data visualization, which is a topic I've developed a new found interest in and appreciation for. In this talk I highlight some of the key considerations when crafting a message with data.
