Scientific visualization
Saturday, January 16 11:30am – 12:35pm
E. Scientific visualization – Tara Richerson (science_goddess)
Description: A picture is not only worth a thousand words—-it is also worth a thousand numbers. This session will focus on ways to move from raw quantitative and qualitative data to a variety of visuals that communicate with all audiences.
Please visit my Data/Information Visualization wiki for lists of links, blogs, twitter feeds, inspiration and more.
Discuss:
As this is an “unconference” of sorts, I am very interested in what everyone would like to discuss. Here are some of the questions that I thought might be good to toss around…
1. How do the capabilities of open publishing and associated tools change the ways in which we can visualize and share data with various audiences?
2. What do you need your data to do that you can’t currently make happen (either due to lack of knowledge and/or tools)? For example, would you like to be able to overlay various samples with Google Maps?
3. What tools (both commercial and open source) are you using to develop visualizations?
4. How can we use visualization to better communicate messages with the general public?
