This visualization maps the global distribution of Datavis 2020 students, coloring each point by the week they joined. The map uses a natural Earth projection via `d3.geoNaturalEarth1` and `d3.geoPath`, with world atlas data from TopoJSON. Student locations are geocoded coordinates rendered as circles on an SVG, with a sequential viridis color scale showing join dates. The React component structure and D3 utilities like `scaleSequential` and `timeFormat` drive the legend and date encoding.

AI-generated description

This map shows approximate locations of the students who joined Datavis 2020 in its first few days.

The list of locations was compiled by manually going through the places mentioned by students in their introductions in our Slack channel #datavis-2020 in the D3 Slack Group. These are the locations where the students are actually located physically.

Each location mentioned was geocoded using Google (example Kansas City longitude and latitude and entered into the code here in useCities.js.

The locations mentioned range from countries to states to particular cities. For regions like countries or states, the point represents its centroid. Locations are by no means exact, but the point of this viz is to give a sense of the global distribution of students.

This version includes newer data, and colors students by the week that they joined. The first week ended on Jan. 3, 2010.
