The winner of that contest Nicole Mark joins us today on Stats+Stories. Nicole Mark is a visual learner and communicator who found her passion in the field of data visualization. She started out making maps of imaginary worlds and cataloging her volumes of The Baby-Sitters Club on her family's original Apple Macintosh. Now, she analyzes and visualizes data in Tableau and with code, always on a Mac! She writes about dataviz, life with ADHD, and the modern workplace in her blog, SELECT * FROM data.

Creating data visualizations in the physical world is not a new phenomenon. Humans have been drawing on walls, tallying money and crops, and carving on stone tablets for thousands of years. Today, though the practice of data visualization is largely done in the digital world, there is an exciting area of working in the physical space--the real world, as it were--to create, share, and communicate data and information. That brings us to the exciting new book, Making with Data, that provides a snapshot of the diverse practices contemporary creators are using to produce objects, spaces, and experiences imbued with data. In this week's episode of the podcast, I chat with the editors of the book to get their take on this exciting field.Sponsor: Nom NomNom Nom delivers fresh food made with whole ingredients, backed by veterinary science.
