Data viz pitches

  1. A bar graph of total capital investment by industry on Long Island from 2005 to 2014. This data viz will make it easy to compare the amount of venture capital that is invested in the biotech industry to the amount that is invested in other industries. Data source: http://www.longislandindex.org/data_posts/venture-capital-financing/
  2. Pie charts of the sources of revenue for Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and the Feinstein Institute of Medical Research, two big sources of new biotech innovations. These charts will show where the money that drives the biotech industry is coming from. Data sources: Annual reports for CSHL (https://www.cshl.edu/about-us/annual-report-2014.html) and FIMR (http://www.onwardpublishing.com/nslij/FIMR2015/)
  3. A bar graph of the number of biotechnology patent registrations over the past decade or two in Long Island and other metropolitan areas like St. Louis, Research Triangle, San Diego, Boston, Silicon Valley, and Washington D.C. This will show how close (or far) Long Island is from becoming comparable to the biggest biotech research regions in the United States.
