Football Injuries: By the Numbers
Football Injuries: By the Numbers details injury rates for all football leagues annually, as well as the development of equipment to protect players. An additional spread looks deeper into concussions, an injury that has become synonymous with football. An interactive component also allows for exploration of football fatalities over the years, comparing changes against significant events and rule changes.

Bristol Bay calculator
Created with Processing, the Bristol Bay calculator compares possible changes in resources and value between the current salmon fishery and proposed Pebble Mine in Bristol Bay, Alaska. Users can control what variables are compared and watch the impacts of mining unfold on the local ecosystem. Users can also toggle a tailings dam failure, in which the mining waste contaminates the environment, resulting in the simultaneous collapse of the fishery and the mine.

RE/SOURCE
Our food system has become increasingly designed. Although it is still possible to buy direct from farmers, the majority of consumers only interact with the food system through grocery stores. RE/SOURCE uses supply chains to visualize the differences between chicken farms, the methodology behind harvesting seafood, feed differences when finishing beef, the extent of genetically modified grains, and the origination of fruits and vegetables. By exposing the unknowns that crop up during production, RE/SOURCE reveals what occurs when creating market-ready food. Additionally, this information will assist consumers in navigating the plethora of symbols and logos that saturate grocery store shelves in order to make informed decisions about their food.
