As data scientists, we have the power to help shape business decisions, public policy, medical research, and other essential areas of daily life. It’s incumbent on us to practice our craft responsibly and ethically, and that includes the data visualization process. To the best of our ability, we need to ensure our visualizations make clear any assumptions or biases that might be baked into our results, and that they support viewers in asking further questions, rather than serving as a “period” on any discussion. Whether exploratory or narrative in purpose, data visualizations will fundamentally anchor the way the data and topic are viewed, so if it’s worth making a chart in the first place, it’s worth taking the time to do it right.
