The results of the Pudding Cup are out. Some inspirational dataviz examples. But don't worry about reviewing them as I'll be highlighting some of my favourites over the next few weeks.

(I was introduced to this as the "Dirty books law" which referred to often the observed phenomenon that log books tended to show wear and stains on earlier pages but not on later pages. (How many of you will ever have seen a log book at all let alone one sufficiently well thumbed to demonstrate this law I wonder?)).

This is a list I compile on a weeklyish basis and email to subscribers. I also share the link on Mastodon, Bluesky and LinkedIn. It's a list of data vacancies in nonprofit organisations that have caught my eye. I don't endorse any of the organisations or roles.
Salaries are usually FTE and usually include London weighting if applicable. This list is very UK focused and even for remote jobs you are likely to need the right to work in the UK.
