This table is designed to illustrate the depth and urgency of data poverty. It impacts too many areas of our lives to go unresolved. The periodic table of internet elements is free to use, with credit to @KatDixon2012 and the Data Poverty Lab.
Headline reads "A periodic table of internet elements." The graphic is designed to look like a periodic table, and features twelve different categories. These are: medical; housing; finance; employment/training; government services; civil; education; entertainment; community; creativity; social connection; and mobility/access. An HTML-only, non-visual version is available on Kat's blog on our website.

NEW: The internet is elemental to daily life in the UK. But how do we communicate the day-to-day impact of poor internet access? To visualise this, @KatDixon2012 has produced a periodic table of internet elements – an amazing (free!) resource from her Data Poverty Lab Fellowship

Through research we've found that most employers want to make workplace adjustments for disabled employees and candidates, but they are unsure how to do it. We want to change this. 🧵 1/6 #DisabilityInclusion #WorkplaceAdjustments
A horizontal image with three percentages given in three columns with text underneath: Column 1: 87% of neurodivergent employees feel that adjustments would make a critical difference to their performance at work. Column 2: 34% of neurodivergent employees report that their requests for adjustments had been successfully implemented Column 3: 15% of neurodivergent employees feel comfortable openly discussing adjustments within their organisation
