Data science is the general process of converting raw data into actionable insights, meaning it offers a systematic approach to answering analytical questions to improve decision-making. Using analytical techniques, data science has the potential to provide powerful insights across and within patients, institutions, regions, and nations (Hardy, 2024, p. 358)." Florence Nightingale was a pioneer in displaying data visually to promote sanitation reform. Learn more about her approach and the advantages of using data to promote change in the visual below: Florence Nightingale | . "Florence Nightingale understood the power of visualizing science She illustrated that simple sanitation techniques could stop the spread of infectious diseases. She discovered deaths due to disease were more than seven times the number of deaths due to combat, because of unsanitary hospital conditions. However, knowing numbers alone have limited persuasive powers, Nightingale used her skills in statistical communication to convince the British parliament of the need to act. She avoided the dry tables used by most statisticians of the time, and instead devised a novel graph to illustrate the impact of hospital and nursing practice reform on army mortality rates." https://www.sciencenews org/articie/florence-nightingale-birthday-power- visualizing-science
