New on Multiple Views: Missing #ieeevis this week? No worries. Inspired by jason dykes love letter to infovis, I wrote my own personal account of what’s inspired & challenged me. I hope others find it useful!  medium.com/multiple-views…

@miriah_meyer Stefanie Posavec "We need to let our visualizations take part of the richness of the world. Visualize a data set in as many ways as possible. Draw it, musify it, try to provide for as many ways humans interact with data." -Sheelagh Carpendale #ieeevis

Congratulations Saugat Pandey for this fascinating work on the impact of visualization on user engagement on Twitter!

Lab bonding time at IEEE VIS

Another great talk by Sunwoo Ha and collaborators on comparing techniques for data interaction prediction and bias detection. Check out their preprint for more details: arxiv.org/pdf/2208.05021

“when using active search, users found more relevant points while clicking less”. Compelling findings by Shayan Monadjemi and collaborators!

This weekend we taught students from the BrightPath STEAM academy about data, charts and data-driven decisions. We examined data features of random lego sets, discussed what makes a good or bad chart, and made data visualizations using Tableau. Needless to say we had a blast!
