These weird meals are actually clever data visualizations

Susanne Jaschko, an author and curator, and Moritz Stefaner, a data viz specialist, are exploring with Data Cuisine, a workshop based entirely around the unlikely intersection of figures and food. At two sessions—one in Helsinki, one in Barcelona—they challenged participants to come up with dishes that reflected some sort of fact, stat, or data point.

In Barcelona, for example, a pair of cakes addressed the issue of national science funding. The first was made from a standard recipe; the second used 34% less sugar—the precise amount that science funding is being cut in Spain this year. In that case, the dish turned an abstract budget cut into something much more palpable—the drop in funding literally left a bad taste in your mouth.

Advanced Gate Drive for Motor Control
Sponsored by Infineon
Passing EMC testing, reducing power dissipation, and mitigating supply chain issues are crucial design concerns to keep in mind when it comes to motor control applications. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton and Rick Browarski from Infineon explore the role that MOSFETs play in motor control design, the value that adaptive MOSFET control can have for motor control designs, and how Infineon can help you jump start your next motor control design.
