A detailed map of the Mediterranean basin rotated 90 degrees clockwise immediately disrupts the sense of a familiar landscape and makes the sea and surrounding coatslines of Greece, Italy and North Africa seems like maps from a fantasy novel or mysterious fictional realm.

It’s all a matter of perspective…

Close-up photo of a clothing label showing size designations for different regions. The label reads 'EU US ASIA' on the left column and 'M S L' on the right column, demonstrating how the same physical size is labeled differently across continents. The label is sewn into what appears to be a gray fabric garment

YouGov poll showing how Britons view other countries as allies or threats. Rankings from most friendly to least: Australia/New Zealand/Canada (70%+ as allies) at top, through European nations in middle, down to China and Russia at bottom (seen as threats). Shows percentages for 'friend/ally', 'friendly rival', 'don't know', and 'unfriendly/hostile threat' categories

Bar chart showing yearly disease cases before (yellow) and after (pink) vaccine introduction in the US. Diseases listed include measles (4 million to minimal cases), chickenpox, whooping cough, mumps, hepatitis A & B, rubella, polio, smallpox, diphtheria, and tetanus. The dramatic reduction in cases after vaccination demonstrates vaccines' effectiveness. Data source: US CDC.

Satellite view of Earth showing primarily the Pacific Ocean side, with minimal visible landmasses. The image shows Earth as a blue sphere against the black of space, with a bright rim of atmospheric glow along the edge. This perspective showcases the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean, which dominates most of the visible hemisphere, with only small portions of land visible near the edges, likely parts of Antarctica and South America. The ocean appears as various shades of deep blue, with some cloud patterns visible across its surface.

The Pacific Ocean covers 32.4% of the planet’s surface (more than all land & ice combined)

The ocean’s widest point is 19,800km. The circumference of the Earth’s equator is 40,075km

A simplified map of the Star Wars galaxy, focusing on notable systems and hyperlanes. The map is divided into regions: Deep Core, Core Planets, Inner Rim, Mid Rim, Outer Rim, Wild Space, Unknown Regions, and Hutt Space. Key planets like Corellia, Tatooine, and Kashyyyk are labeled, along with their respective regions. The map provides a visual overview of the galaxy's layout and the interconnectedness of different planets and regions.

A playful scatterplot (using dog silhouettes instead of dots) depicts the best dog, according to data. On the vertical axis is a measure of public popularity. On the horizontal is an indexed score of several metrics to consider when owning a dog (cost, temperament, no. of genetic ailments etc). Each dog is coloured by category (sport, toy, hound etc) and sized (S, M, L). If a dog is facing left, it's kind of a dumb dog. If it's facing right, it's an intelligent dog.

Poster by BMA Scotland highlighting challenges faced by GP surgeries. It notes that NHS spending on General Practice was 11% in 2008 and is projected to drop to 6.5% by 2025. There is one GP for every 1,515 patients in 2013, expected to change to one for every 1,735 by 2025. The poster emphasizes GP struggles due to less resources, fewer GPs, more patients, and more conditions, impacting service accessibility.

Word cloud on autism risk factors. Header states autism is influenced by genetic and environmental factors. Larger text indicates higher risk factors: having an identical twin with autism, injury to the cerebellum at birth, and siblings with autism. Other risks: premature birth, very low birth weight, older parental age, serious viral infections during the first trimester, closely spaced siblings, male sex, pesticide exposure, and air pollution. Vaccinations, birth month, and parenting do not increase risk. Notes that 60-90% of risk comes from genes, but no single factor guarantees autism. Sources listed at the bottom.

Major risk factors for autism - visualized. Acetaminophen (paracetamol) use doesn’t even make the chart.

Viral & bacterial infection & fever during pregnancy ARE significant risk-factors + also why someone would take pain killers.

A map illustrating the changing landscape of the North Sea region over time, specifically focusing on Doggerland, a now-submerged landmass that connected Great Britain to mainland Europe. The map shows the ice sheet coverage at different points in time (16,000 BC, 8000 BC, 7000 BC), revealing how the landmass gradually became submerged as sea levels rose.

Just 9,000 years ago Britain was connected to continental Europe by an area of land called Doggerland, which is now submerged beneath the southern North Sea. Part of the reason why the UK is a world leader in off-shore windfarms.

This population density map of Australia visualizes how most of the population is concentrated in coastal cities like Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth. The interior is mostly uninhabited, with labels like "NO ONE LIVES HERE" emphasizing the vast emptiness. The vertical spikes represent population density, showing the stark contrast between urban centers and the sparsely populated outback.

In contrast, terrorism and homicide receive disproportionately high media attention despite lower death statistics. An illustration shows a person with a television for a head, symbolizing media influence. Text notes the disparity in news coverage frequency reflecting actual death causes.
