## SLIDE 1 {-}

- ADD SLIDES AS SECTIONS (`##`).

00:18:44	Lydia Gibson:	At first glance I didn’t realize how confusing the colors of the bars were. I was wondering why it had provided a legend but that’s why

00:35:16	Ken Vu:	Thank you so much.  I feel this chapter provides a good guideline on how to make effective visualizations.
