Cohabitation network (a collection of circled nodes connected by lines) where each node is a mammal. There are 5,286 nodes and 62,385 edges colored by the continent of the animal's primary habitat. The colors are shades of browns, blues and grays. The nodes are more clustered by color here than in the country-level network.U

A slightly more zoomed in photo of the wall with the strings. The strings create a type of Sankey diagram. The strings start on the far left, grouped as either student or staff, then proceed to the next column in the grid—year group they are representing—then travel to a third column with options for number of assessments, and finally end at the type of preferred assessment (coursework, exam or both.)T

Image of the double diamond model which shows the steps in tackling design projects. The leftmost point of the first diamond is "question, interest or idea." The designer then travels through the "expand/ideate" phase to reach the top of the first diamond, which is "max risk of overwhelm." Then, the designer travels down from that top point in the "focus/consolidate phase," which is the phase in which this column about collaboration is most relevant. The next phases (in the second diamond) are in light gray font, suggesting that those steps are yet to come, but they include "building/producing" and "deliver/deploying").S

A visual of the information graphic showing 200 countries as flowers of different sizes, with size representing GDP. Each flower is placed roughly in the geographic location of the country on a flat world map. Each flower has six petals, each representing a metric of governance. Each petal has 10 concentric petals within it, representing years from 2012 to 2021. Each petal is color coded on a shaded scale of red (worse) to white (middle) to blue (better).V
