🔥 🌍 The climate crisis is not a technical problem to be fixed by engineers, but a predicament we all have to face. This interactive flowchart by Andrew Boyd and Jona Pomerance is an invitation to hear the impossible news and navigate the implications:
Keep an eye out for the first Data Visualization Accessibility workshop at @ieeevis this year!! Organized by @laurasouth_, Naimul Hoque, Pramod Chundury, @frankelavsky, Lucas Nadolskis, @kekewu728, Brianna Wimer, @dom, Danielle Albers Szafir, Jonathan Lazar, and @elm
CFP: Position papers (2-4 pages) that discuss topics relevant to accessible data visualizations
New technologies can redefine the role of a region.
Here, in 1906, a part of the eastern reaches of Canada, and look at Nova Scotia, all those submarine cables were ushering a growing age of communication, and would underpin the connected age we live in now.
Realizing I never did an #introduction. I'm Amelia McNamara, an assistant professor of statistics. I love #data, especially non-traditional data like text. I'm an #RStats nerd to the extreme, and my research focuses on how computer tools can support statistics/data science learning. I love looking at #DataVis and wish I got more opportunities to make it, although teaching it is fun, too! My hobbies include repairing my #Volvo240, #Darning, and reading speculative fiction.
Happy birthday to founder of modern nursing, social reformer, statistician, data visualization innovator & writer Florence Nightingale (1820 – 1910)!
Nightingale earned the nickname "The Lady with the Lamp" during the Crimean War, from a phrase used by The Times, describing her as a “ministering angel” making her solitary rounds of the hospital at night with “a little lamp in her hand”. 🧵1/n

CONGRATULATIONS DOCTOR LAURA SOUTH on a successful #PhD dissertation defense of "Designing for Photosensitive Epilepsy Across Social, Interactive, and Immersive Platforms"! and to Dr. @michelle_borkin for the immense achievements of your student! #DataVis#HCI#a11y
The @KhouryVis annual lab retreat kicked off last night in Portland, Maine at Northeastern's Roux Institute! Some of us are still a little jet-lagged from #IEEEVIS 😅 but there's nothing quite like beautiful Maine in the fall to reset our clocks! 🍂
On Thursday morning, I'll be guest lecturing on #DataVis at the May Institute for Computation and Statistics for #MassSpec and #Proteomics at Northeastern #BostonMA!
Happy and honored to give a virtual keynote at the #CrossingFonds Symposium next week in Vancouver/online!
I will speak about conceptual analogues as a versatile vehicle to aid transdisciplinary collaboration in the intersecting contexts of #archives, #visualization and #design.
Du Bois Data Visualization Society Challenge - Week 6/10: My recreation of Du Bois' poster no. 54, done with D3, Svelte. Again I tried to recreate it as close to the original as possible and make it responsive.
Over the past two summers I had the privilege to co-teach experimental design courses, which not only yielded great projects, but also spawned stimulating discussions and discoveries with our students.
To document these kinds of journeys, Philipp @proff and i prepared #SyllabusSite, a template for rendering #Markdown files as scrollable one-pagers that gather readings, inspirations and results in a unique format:
Last year, Myriel Milicevic and i offered a nomadic course »Organigrams for/from the future« and visited ten organizations who shared insights about cooperative work practices. While #organigrams tend to represent traditional organizations, we explored how they could also stimulate our imagination. How would an economy built on solidarity, sustainability and survival look like?
with Data by Design @laurenfklein and team offer a counter history of data visualization in the form of an interactive book featuring a range of visual and interactive materials to engage with – the project is now up for community review:
loving the "scrollytells" highlighting and explaining certain parts, variants, or layers of selected visualizations. so smart and so useful for teaching critical literacy!
This week at the MAI-Tagung (museums and the internet) taking place at #JMBerlin, we present our ongoing research project »Granularities of dispersion and materiality – Visualizing a photo archive about diaspora«
the Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History https://www.c2dh.uni.lu/ has an interesting permanent researcher position in Data Visualisation for Digital History:
