For the German election we wanted to use a cartogram of German election districts but didn't find anything good, so we created our own. Here's a little nerd thread how the final algorithm worked 🤓 🧵 #gis #cartogram #election #datavis #cartography

Several attendees (including me) noted this talk made them curious to interview relatives about their own family history. It was a good reminder that if you want decades of personal data l “Querying data” starts with talking to people, not writing SQL!
