Daily Viz from Visual Loop – 01/09/2010

Science has come a long way. Understanding its evolution throughout history usually requires a deep dive into Wikipedia – until now. The Metro Contextual science map, created by Crispian Jago, gathers in one giant tube-map all the major names and events of science. Also interesting is the explanation of how Dolphin sonars Work (by Animal Planet ) and the effect of colors in purchases (from Kissmetrics). We close this selection with Fixr‘s Home Improvement retailers shootout, and with Ria Novosti‘s piece about Golf.
