So there’s a chart making the rounds in the media right now that was used by U.S. Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT), the chair of the House Oversight Committee, during a senate hearing with Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards. The chart Chaffetz presented offers some valuable lesson in how data can be visually manipulated to deceive, and how we can all be better communicators with data.

I'm a total sucker for geographical data viz and lately I've found myself losing countless hours exploring CartoDB's growing community gallery of maps. Seriously, if you need some visual inspiration today head on over to their site and marvel at the beautiful intersection of geography, data and creativity.
