In this work, we explored the feasibility of mapping different types of conceptual metaphors (e.g., orientation, where in representing time left can signify "the past" while right "the future") to elements of scientific infographics.

RTs much appreciated! Exciting postdoc job opp using unique large-scale genetic data to build a population map and history of Norway -- linked with archaeology and linguistics. jobbnorge.no/en/available-jo… Similar in spirit to the cover below (PI was an author) -- but much modernised!

VIS is the best academic conference I’ve been to hands down, a big tent of friendly, smart, open-minded folks working on big problems. If you do work on visualization, data analysis, usable statistics, or applied behavioral science, please consider checking out the conference!

Fantastic STAR on visualization x sonification by @KajetanEnge et al. at @EuroVisConf - love this insight on the islands of research groups active in this space, and makes me wonder how many other topics in our field look like this

Had a wonderful time visiting @bernard_juergen /the IVDA lab and @melassady /the IVIA lab. It’s always fun to exchange ideas and see what new things come out. Thanks for hosting me! Bonus to the trip was the special exhibit on the human body at the Zurich National Museum 🫀

Great piece!
I've written a piece that is very important to me and I'm quite emotional in sharing it: Alive, Political Visual Words medium.com/@federicafragapan… I've explored how visual language used in #dataviz can be alive and, in some cases, political. I really really hope you will read it!
