The Allen School colloquium today was a speaker that they publicly denounced merely months ago for “meritless, sexist, inflammatory, attention-seeking commentary that reflects poorly on him and everyone associated with him.”

As VIS wraps, happy to share that next week(!) I’m moving to Portland Maine, joining Melanie Tory (she/her) at the Roux Institute for sabbatical this year. Super excited about the projects and also they’re hiring! -> #ieeevis #vis22

Perhaps the best provocation I’ve heard all week #ieeevis .

We 🚨CANNOT🚨 drop hybrid for #ieeevis ---I don't care how challenging it is. Reasons are many: cost, ability, and opportunity. Remote conference participation is something we learned to do (by necessity!) because of COVID. Let's not forget this hard-won lesson!

I love this metaphor from Jenny Bryan:

Do you think of your your code like a lawn or like astroturf? Do you expect to regularly mow and weed it to keep it looking good, or do you expect to roll it out and ignore it for the next 10 years?

an emerging theme I'm seeing at this year's #ieeevis is that people are not just perceptual boxes! the process of reading visualizations is messy, deeply personal, and filled with nuance.

fascinating work from Eli Holder + Cindy Xiong !!

👏Superb Animated Vega-Lite presentation & work by jonathan zong 🍊🥄 & Josh Pollock. Really excited to see this work become part of Vega-Lite offering, I had a ton of fun using it during the critical reflection study!

One of my favorite parts of our #ieeevis Animated Vega-Lite paper is our theoretical analysis of the conceptual affordances between our approach and those in other animated vis systems.

Great work jonathan zong 🍊🥄, Josh Pollock, and Dylan Wootton!

Come check out our talk during the 9am “Transforming Tabular Data and Grammars” session in Oklahoma Station 5 today!

From practical advice for designing my next AI visualization to new explanation methods and stunning interactive explainables, this year's VISxAI did not disappoint!

It was a pleasure to organize alongside Menna El-Assady, Fred Hohman, Adam Perer, Hendrik Strobelt & Jay Wang!

These slides from Marti Hearst’s #ieeevis keynote on Text + Vis reminds me of the “Typoglycemia” meme/transposed letter effect.

Great to have a Interactive Data Lab past and present lunch at #ieeevis

Resonating with a new #ieeevis award-winning framework “Affective Learning Objectives for Communicative Visualizations” from Elsie Lee-Robbins & Eytan Adar.

Especially like “observe” and “position”, which help readers understand/situate the belief space.
