I like to analyze and visualize free datasets on almost any topic, but my favorites are science, sports, food, and politics.

Here are examples of infographics I’ve made:

• science
• sports
• food (& beverage)
• politics
• everything else

For interactive graphics, I use R Shiny applications - here are a few I’ve designed:

• MLB affiliates: a map showing the locations of MLB teams and their minor league affiliate teams
• MLB manager networks: networks showing relationships (number of years associated together) between MLB players and managers
• US aquatic community science: a dataset showcasing the present state of US community science programs targeting aquatic habitats
• size spectra: a tool to teach aquatic size spectra techniques and allow researchers to input their own datasets

Credit and thanks to Dan McGarvey and Sarah Faris of Virgina Commonwealth University’s Center for Environmental Studies and School of the Arts, respectively, for developing a fantastic curriculum to teach graduate science students infographic design skills.
