    Professor and data journalist Alvin Chang has created a wonderful interactive platform, with an accompanying explainer video, showing how drastic the differences are between jobs that require standing and those where sitting is permitted.

    This week I published Sitters and Standers on the Pudding, with an accompanying video. Please read the story, share it with friends, and tell me what you think. These pieces are labors of love, and I enjoy hearing the conversation they spark among readers. Also, I’ve made a big Bluesky list of data and visual journalists. If you belong on this list, let me know!Last weekend, I co-taught a data viz workshop at Columbia’s Brown Institute with Caitlyn Ralph.

    Alvin Chang of The Pudding used hard data to examine how the tone of science fiction in books, films, television shows, and video has changed over the past 70 years. I analyzed the top 200 sci-fi films and tv shows every decade from the 1950s to present day. What I found was that sci-fi narratives from yesteryear were quite different from today’s stories.

    This post is about how I made my latest piece in the Pudding – Who killed the world?The video version is above. You should read or watch it before reading this post. If you want to stay updates on my work, subscribe to this newsletter!I love science fiction. I love when science fiction imagines rich worlds that feel just barely within reach for humanity. I love when sci-fi explores our deepest fears and our most pollyannaish hopes. We are mere specks in an unfathomably large universe.
