30 Day Chart Challenge
2022 edition
A data visualization community-challenge. Each day in April has a new prompt for a visualization from five different categories: Comparisons, Distributions, Relationships, Timeseries, Uncertainties.

Bundestag-Series
A collection of posts analysing open data of the German National Parliament
The German National Parliament, the “Bundestag”, provides open datasets, that contain information on elected representatives over time and data on public votes.
In this series I analyse several aspects of the Bundestag, ranging from age and gender distribution over the decades to a network analysis of parliamentarians according to their voting behavior.
