The Enliven Project's false rape accusations infographic: great intentions, but it isn't accurate. Yesterday, under the headline, "The saddest graph you'll see today," Dylan Matthews at the Washington Post published this infographic created by the Enliven Project to put the legal issues around rape, its prosecutions, and concerns about false accusations into perspective. The graphic quickly made the rounds on Twitter and Facebook, but unfortunately, while well-intentioned, it is also misleading in significant ways that can be used to undercut its basic message, which is sound: that false rape accusations are rare. The persistent myth that false accusations are common makes it incredibly difficult for victims to get justice—the overwhelming threat of being accused of making it all up to cover up for one's slutty ways (see recently: Steubenville, Notre Dame, Cleveland) is enough to make women simply not report. Sadly, the graphic meant to set the record straight on false accusations only confuses matters. Three major problems jump out: The graphic assumes one-rape-per-rapist.

Most Contagious A Scholarly Discussion with Andrew Gelman and Anthony Unwin This is how scholarly exchanges used to work: Scientist A publishes a result, Scientist B then writes an angry letter saying that Scientist A is full of it, to which A responds with more insults, etc., and all that published in a fine scholarly journal. I was recently asked to respond to a piece Andrew Gelman and Anthony Unwin had written about visualization for the Journal of Computational and Graphical Statistics, which had some issues. In addition to yours truly, the journal’s editor Richard Levine also asked Hadley Wickham, Stephen Few, and Paul Murrell for comment. The original article, responses, and Gelman and Unwin’s rejoinder are only going to appear in the March 2013 issue of the journal. However, since Gelman has already put both of his articles online and blogged about them, it makes sense to also make my part of the conversation available; in particular since Gelman and Unwin extensively refer to my piece in their rejoinder. This was an interesting exercise.

Home - Birddog | The Brand and Digital Consultancy that achieves Creative Change 86 Helpful Tools for the Data Professional PLUS 45 Bonus Tools I have been working on this (mostly) annotated collection of tools and articles that I believe would be of help to both the data dabbler and professional. If you are a data scientist, data analyst or data dummy, chances are there is something in here for you. Included is a list of tools, such as programming languages and web-based utilities, data mining resources, some prominent organizations in the field, repositories where you can play with data, events you may want to attend and important articles you should take a look at. The second segment of the list includes a number of art and design resources the infographic designers might like including color palette generators and image searches. There are also some invisible web resources (if you’re looking for something on Google and not finding it) and metadata resources so you can appropriately curate your data. This is in no way a complete list so please contact me here with any suggestions! Data Tools Data Mining Organizations Repositories
