These are AI-powered data excursions, checked by me, over time.

01 Climate · Time series Vital signs of a warming world Seven long-run lines — global temperature, CO₂, ocean heat, sea level, Arctic sea ice, ice-sheet mass, and extreme rain — each measured by a different instrument and agency, all bending the same way. Pulled from NASA, NOAA, NSIDC, and the GRACE satellites, with the caveats named. NASA & NOAA · animated · dated snapshot 02 Clinical trials · Prototype Where the trial leaks — an information-flow simulator Arm a clinical-trial failure, press play, and watch a participant’s information route through the coordinator into forms, binders, and stakeholders — each blockage, everyone starved downstream, who’s accountable, and the hit to the participant-safety and data-credibility scores. Interactive · ICH-GCP · work in progress 03 Gas prices · US vs Canada Gas at the pump: the US and Canada, side by side Two countries, two units, one world oil price. Retail gasoline since 2006 — the near-lockstep with crude, the tax gap, and the 2025–26 cuts that just shrank Canada’s fuel taxes. EIA & Statistics Canada · unit toggle 04 Rural health · Canada Farther from care, more avoidable deaths Potentially avoidable mortality climbs 2.3× as Canadian communities get more remote — the data case for why health research done in and for rural systems is both harder and more valuable. Statistics Canada & CIHI · sex toggle 05 Game theory · Interactive The game theory of the graceful exit Six models of the conference-line exit problem — the coordination game, Bayesian signalling, the escape-route offer, the repeated-game shadow — each with knobs to turn. A companion to the conference-room simulation. Interactive models · four widgets 06 Demography · Interactive Living longer, unevenly Life expectancy across the rich world and beyond — the US falling behind, the COVID dip, South Korea's astonishing rise, and how many of those years are actually healthy ones. Our World in Data · three views 07 Prices · Interactive The cost of living, two ways Two questions hide in "cost of living": has it gone up here, and is it higher there? Inflation since 2000 for the G7, and how pricey each country is now — measured in Big Macs. World Bank & The Economist · two views 08 Agent-based model · Interactive The physics of a conference room A live social-dynamics simulation: 100 people cluster into cliques, a few open minds bridge them, and oversized groups split — press Run and watch it breathe. Simulation · runs in your browser 09 Epidemiology · Interactive Measles, before and after the vaccine The famous Project Tycho heatmap rebuilt from source, the post-elimination era rescaled, and the global resurgence as vaccination coverage slips. Project Tycho & WHO · four views 10 Leading indicators · Interactive Which way is the economy turning? Leading indicators that bend before the business cycle turns — in both directions — for the US, Canada, and the major economies. OECD & FRED · five views 11 Study design · Simulation What unblinding does to a clinical trial A live Monte Carlo simulation: watch a drug that does nothing become a statistical "success" as the blind breaks. Simulated in your browser 12 Labour · Interactive Canada's labour market, five ways One chart, five lenses — unemployment and employment by province, age, industry, education, and occupation, back to 1976. Statistics Canada · five views 13 Trade · Interactive Canada's trade and the 2025 tariff cliff Three decades of Canada's trade with its top partners — and the surge, then the cliff, around the 2025 U.S. tariffs.
