Interdisciplinary Datavis Workshop

Scientists, Technologists and Designers discussed #datavis in a workshop organized by Greg McInerny (http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/people/a-gregmc/). It happened in person, not on Twitter, but still, some tweets were made!

  1. @moritz_stefaner also promotes "sketching in code" and working with real data ASAP. Good stuff. Uses ContextFree, NodeBox, Processing, etc
  2. nice to hear @IXT talk (briefly!) about the production of the amazing Ville Vivante flow visualisation vimeo.com/37238326
  3. now Ben Hennig is taking cartograms further by distorting a gridded world map rather than country area viewsoftheworld.net
  4. Looking forward to another great day of design, #datavis and science brainstorming. TEDx speaker Miriah Meyer at 09h30! tedxtalks.ted.com/video/TEDxWate…
  5. Last morning @MSFTResearchCam visualisation workshop, Miriah Meyer is talking visualising biological data in Processing
  6. 'curvemaps' are particularly interesting - combination of heatmaps and sparklines. check out the code & data cs.utah.edu/~miriah/pathli…
  7. Discussing the challenges of #datavis is in different media. Great to hear people discuss the importance of narrative and storytelling. :)
  8. discussing mediums: why is the scientific community still reluctant to use interactive/fluid platforms for research - finality?
  9. paper prototyping interactive, multidimensional visual analysis tools for climate scientists http://pic.twitter.com/9en5jwWk
  10. Draft of #sketchnotes for Miriah Meyer's great talk about her design process. http://pic.twitter.com/IZpAoJMp
