The people from the Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service published an awesome piece of big data mapping online. They took the race of each individual American and overlayed that on a map. The result is a stunning map of the States on which you can see clear city block race boundaries that, to me, indicates how badly races are mingling.

The Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service published an interesting data rich map online the other day. They took all the US 2010 census data about race and decided to plot that on a single map. Each American is represented as a dot (yes that are many dots!).

Please +1 this post and share it with your UK circles.

If you want to help grow this UK network, please add this page to your UK-only circles and share – we'll pick it up from there.

'In another experiment Elwood investigated whether hermit crabs could make motivational trade-offs as a result of pain. They presented Pagurus bernhardus crabs with two types of shell, one of which the animals are known to prefer, and gave some of the animals small electric shocks when they were inside these new homes.

When these crabs were later presented with a new shell they could move into, the shocked crabs were more likely to take up this offer, and they did so more quickly.'
