Quotes of the Week

I'm a huge fan of upset plots for displaying set patterns but get some pushback from collaborators due to its unfamiliar-ness. To combat this I made an interactive version which has helped people understand and trust the method. Thanks to r2d3 it was a breeze #dataviz #rstats pic.twitter.com/KNFIo7dYCf
