add network graph, periodic table, Owen et al. brain figure; fix classic vizs
- Remove "Visualizations that changed the world" divider slide - Add network graph SVG (20 nodes, 3 clusters, CDL theme colors) - Add periodic table SVG (118 elements, CDL theme category colors) - Add Owen et al. (2021) brain dimensionality reduction figure - Snow cholera map: replaced with Wikipedia SVG, themed colors (#9d162e deaths, #267aba pumps, transparent bg) - Minard Napoleon: removed border box, added Tufte "best statistical graphic ever drawn" quote attribution - Nightingale rose: increased petal transparency (opacity 0.4) - Nightingale slide scaled to 80% to fit - All slides use sentence case Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

The best visualizations don't just display data — they **change how people think and act**. Here are three that transformed public health, military strategy, and epidemiology.

Nightingale's polar area chart showed that **preventable diseases** (blue) killed far more soldiers than wounds (red) — convincing the army to prioritize sanitation.

Nightingale's polar area chart showed that **preventable diseases** (blue) killed far more British soldiers than battle wounds (red). This visualization convinced the army to prioritize sanitation — saving thousands of lives.

Deaths **clustered around the Broad Street pump** — disproving the "miasma" theory and proving cholera was waterborne.

Snow plotted cholera deaths on a map of London's Soho district. The deaths **clustered around the Broad Street water pump** — disproving the "miasma" theory and founding modern epidemiology.

Six variables in one image: army size, location, direction, temperature, latitude, and longitude. The army shrank from 422,000 to 10,000.

Called "the best statistical graphic ever drawn" — this single image encodes **six variables**: army size, location, direction, temperature, latitude, and longitude. The army shrank from 422,000 to 10,000.

Each point represents a brain activation pattern; color indicates cognitive domain. Dimensionality reduction reveals how different mental processes cluster and overlap. *(Owen et al., 2021)*
