ArtAtomic: Art+Science+Code by Kristin Henry

 

Welcome!

Welcome to my second newsletter. A lot has been going on, both in my life and the world.

Update on Whimsical Data Visualization

Randy Rainbow released a new video  this month (02/18/20). So, I updated my whimsical visualization of his 10+ years of videos. The interactive version is on my site: http://kristinhenry.github.io/randyRainbow.html

Covid19

Well, this is becoming more concerning. Here in San Francisco, our mayor has declared a State of Emergency to facilitate preparations for if or when cases occur in our city. The CDC is a great source of information. However, do pay attention to future censorship of Scientific information that contradicts White House policy.  https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html

What can we do? At this point, for your health:
  • Wash your hands with soap and water, regularly. Get in the habit of washing your hands when you arrive at a new destination, such as the office or home.
  • If you're not feeling well, stay home. It's probably just a cold or allergies.
  • Prepare. If you live in California, think of it as making sure your earthquake survival kit is up to date. Do you have enough supplies to survive for 3 days without going to a store? Two weeks, in extreme?

 

#inkyDays

Covid19 has been on my mind, and is working it's way into my daily drawings.
