So many interesting exchanges and ideas so far at #ieeevis and more to come! We'd love to help you share your work with the broader public. Please reach out to us either at [email protected] or to Enrico Bertini, Jessica Hullman, & Danielle Szafir directly for more.

Im also interested in publishing thoughtful reactions and critiques from the research community. What did you like, what didn’t you agree with, where is vis research missing (or hitting) the mark? I miss the depth of commentary of an in-person conference. Send me your proposals!

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…

Visualization folks: as you're prepping for #CHI2021 and elsewhere, consider making your work accessible to the public through MVs! We're looking for interesting work to highlight and would love to hear from you. Please reach out via DM or at [email protected]
