Potentially Interesting Datasets

Potentially interesting data. 
I started looking through Figshare to find interesting datasets. As I found more, I decided to keep a list. So here it is. Potentially interesting datasets.
The aim is for the datasets to have some ‘depth’. A single time series while certainly interesting to people working in that field has little scope for exploration, or doing something new. Most of these datasets might have something interesting hiding in them. Please let me know if you do an analysis or a visualisation based on any of these!
