Hull Science Festival demo, now displaying data from #wikipedia!

Extracted a wordlist from the abstract dumps @ https://dumps.wikimedia.org/backup-index-bydb.html for several languages → #GloVe → #UMAP 3d. ~140K words displayed.

Interactive #demo #comingsoon!

The start-up service of #FHPotsdam produced a nice image film for our colleague Barbara Avila Vissirini and how she turned her research on visualizing German grammar into a company offering a range of innovative learning materials:

📅Sep 10, 1885 Francis Galton introduced the idea of regression (toward the mean)
(In his presidential lecture to the Anthropology Section of the British Association, perhaps the most influential such in statistical history)

Just finished reading this wonderful article by Federica Fragapane.

I first discovered her work at a Data Viz conference in Paris, and have been inspired by it ever since.

Much thanks to @Herover, for posting a link to it!

💀Sep 8, 1894 Herman Helmholtz died in Charlottenburg, Germany 🇩🇪

1850-1852: Discovery of time course of muscle action and nerve impulses by graphical methods. He used a Kymograph to record muscle action
after stimulation. "These graphs proved that 'the energy of the muscle does not fully develop at the moment of instantaneous stimulus, but only gradually increases, most often only after the stimulus has ceased, reaches a maximum, and again disappears"

🔥 🌍 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:

Please, give it a go, share your feedback and pass it on! It is an experimental prototype: We are curious to hear what you think.

1850-1852: Discovery of time course of muscle action and nerve impulses by graphical methods.

Discovered a gold mine of data from Star Wars scripts for #dataviz projects. Decided to plot each line of Anakin in The Phantom Menace. 🎇

Massive kudos to Jean Wieme for cleaning, checking and providing all the data. 🤩 Available to download here https://github.com/jcwieme/data-scripts-star-wars

Can’t wait to keep exploring the data and viz away!

How can we narrate and navigate the climate crisis?

This experimental interface is an interactive and narrated version of the flowchart that climate activist and author Andrew Boyd included in his latest book »I Want a Better Catastrophe«

Follow his personal path and explore our collective predicament:

In 1863, he invented semi-log charts to show percent changes of commodity prices

I'm delighted to be presenting *two papers* and *two artworks* at #IEEEVIS in Melbourne Australia this October! 🐨

“#AR for Scholarly Publication of 3D Visualizations in #Astronomy” (Short Papers). Jane Adams, Laura South, Arzu Çöltekin, Alyssa Goodman, and Michelle Borkin

“#DevOps for #DataVis: A Survey and Provocation for Teaching Deployment of #DataVisualization” (alt.VIS workshop) Jane Adams

“Latent Prism” (Jane Adams) and "Eco-Mending" (Racquel Fygenson & Jane Adams) @visap

Another general question for folks in #HigherEd #DataVis #DigitalHumanities #DigitalScholarship #AcademicLibraries :

For those who teach any sort of Intro to Data Visualization workshop/series, what applications are you teaching these days? I'm liking @datawrapper a lot but am also trying to think about what students are likely to encounter in industry, other classes, etc.

(Today is apparently the day where I just put big questions out into the Mastodon/Tech/Academic universe and hope someone catches them... also known as semester/syllabus planning day. Sorry!)

If you love a bit of data visualization, and enjoy people who refuse to use their own face as social media avatars, I can highly recommend you join me and @datarocksnz for a live stream this Thursday, 21:00 CEST.
