Luigi is the data massage king around these parts, no doubt about it. So he’ll surely be pleased to see this quick round-up from the Global Health Metrics and Evaluation conference, 2011. Why? Because it offers new opportunities that I can barely begin to make sense of, not least a tool called Tableau Public, “a free service that lets anyone publish interactive data to the web”. I took a quick gander, searching for some of my favourite terms. Alas, there isn’t a whole lot up there, except for this nifty look at the productivity of dairy cows in Wisconsin and yet another look at diabetes, poverty and obesity, which is awesomely interactive, but I’m sure that’ll change once Luigi gets his mitts on it. Maybe we could even find out whether life expectancy is related to percent of income spent on food.
