Visualization in Science

Old chinese proverbs says &laquo ; ; ; ; ; ; A picture is worth one thousand words&raquo ; ; ; ; ; ; . But is this true? In some cases a thousand words may fall pitifully short. In other cases a thousand words would be far too many. Can you tell how much is worth your plot, chart or graph? Due to easy access to friendly-to-use graphical and tabular software, sometimes we have opportunity to be too creative. Good data visualization is a fine balance between informativeness and attractiveness. In this workshop participants will learn how to avoid all traps in a process of data visualization. Topics that will be discussed during the workshop are: - Human visual system, - Optical illusions – what they got to do with it?, - History of data visualization, - The best and worst of statistical graphics, - The evils of using 3D effects in graphs, - Pie charts and visualization diets, - Color blind graphs, - Things to absolutely avoid in visualization.
