For a Scientific American story More Teens Are Getting Vaccines by Megha Satyanarayana, I made two graphics that uses data from a CDC Weekly Report published on August 14, 2025, looking into a general higher trend of vaccination rates among U.S. teens aged from 13 to 17.

First chart has shown that in 2024 vaccination coverage for Tdap, MenACWY, HPV and MMR vaccines trended higher for older teens than younger ones.

Second chart points out that there is an increasing vaccination rate among U.S. adolescents aged 13 to 17 from 2023 to 2024, with the largest gain in at least one dose of the Tdap vaccine (from 89% to 91.3%), followed by at least one dose of MenACWY, HPV and at least two doses of MMR.

For a Scientific American story Where Did Bird Flu Go? by Meghan Bartels, I created a graphic showing how cases of highly pathogenic avian influenza in poultry tend to decline during the summer months, based on USDA data from 2022 to 2025.

Experts suggest two main reasons for this seasonal drop: the virus doesn't thrive in warmer temperatures, and during the breeding season, migratory birds are less active near poultry farms, potentially slowing transmission.

For a Scientific American story Each AI Chatbot Has Its Own Distinctive Writing Style by Karolina Rudnicka, I made a graphic that explores how ChatGPT and Gemini differ in their word choice preferences.

For instance, “idiolect,” a narrower concept than “dialect,” refers to an individual’s unique speaking style. The author analyzed 20 of the most frequent short texts on diabetes generated by both models and found they have distinct writing styles. Gemini favors simple, direct language like “high blood sugar,” while ChatGPT tends to lean toward more formal word combination such as “blood glucose levels.”
