## Daily Brief — 2026-05-12
### ✨ Morning
Florence Nightingale was born on this day in 1820 — in Florence, Italy, and named after the city. Beyond nursing, she was a pioneering statistician who invented the polar area diagram (a kind of pie chart) to visualize death causes in the Crimean War. Data storytelling as a lifesaving tool, 150 years before "data viz" was a thing.
