Holy cowfish! Obsidian! 🤯🤯🤯 if you haven't heard of it, check it out. it's for note taking, but it's so so much more. It let's you backlink notes, which is revolutionary! (I know I'm late to the #obsidian party for those who do use it)

Thanks for having me AMEG crew! :)

Glad you enjoyed it! It was so good to see everyone start to think about visual design as problem solving and have ideas on how to improve their figures by the end of the day!

The main take-home from my workshop...🐶

When plotting data, do you give as much weight to choosing a colour map as you do to other aesthetics (like x-y axis ticks)? Well, you should and Fabio Crameri talks about why in this great paper. (thanks Mario Minguito Frutos for sending me this) nature.com/articles/s4146…

Share a fact that you know is right, but feels so wrong I'll start...Sharks have been around longer than trees

This is one of the main reasons I started this business, to help students and phd researchers. Hearing that they are using what they learnt fills me with so much joy 🤓🤩😃

Soo. Many. Things. Wrong!

My new paper is out in PLOS Biology about art 🎨 and science 🧪collaborations! We argue that ✨art and science are one in the same✨ and provide recommendations for researchers & universities about how to support sci/art synergy. 👉🏽Read it here: journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…

Thanks everyone for your input 🙏 It was nice confirmation that I'm on track with what I call myself!

In 2016 Luis Alberto Quiroga Cairo produced the Datasaurus Dozen to make this point even more dramatically. It’s absolutely wild that 50 years later we still need to communicate this to folks who have recently awarded STEM degrees. Dataviz needs to be a fundamental part of data education

Thanks Jen!

We finally got to meet in person after a few years of monthly zoom ☕ and 🍵 Amelia Travers runs the great Avid Research, which I highly recommend if you listen to, especially if you want to learn about people doing cool STEM things.

People love stories. But too often, scientists forget that when it comes to communicating research. This week's podcast guest is Dr Jess Hopf Jess Hopf. Her job is to help others tell their research stories- not with words, but visually! Host: Cynthia Huang @[email protected]. therandomsample.com.au/podcast/scient…
