What data visualisations can do for science\n3 July 2019 | 7 pm\n HIIG | Französische Straße 9 | 10117 Berlin\n \;\n\nWhen you think o f Leonardo da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man or John Snow’s famous map of chole ra outbreaks in 19th century London\, you think of early examples for data visualisations. In academia\, visualisations have always been widely used to communicate findings and make sense of the data. Given that early rese arch was published on paper and distributed analogously\, visualisations w ere static.\n\nNowadays\, there is an ever increasing number of visualisat ions in papers: statistical results\, maps\, social networks\, you name it . But despite technological advances and modern approaches to data visuali sation\, published infographics remain mostly static.\nWhat opportunities does science miss by sticking to this (outdated) state-of-the-art? Can pub lications benefit from the tools and approaches already employed in data s cience or data-driven journalism? What better ways are there for telling s tories with interactive graphs or web apps to make research more compellin g?\n\nBringing together scientists and data visualisation specialists\, we give you an insight into the world of visual representations and discuss new ways to explore data. We will encounter the good\, the bad\, and the b eautiful side of data visualisations and give you some inspiration for you r own research. Just picture it!\n\n \;\nSpeakers\n\n Katrin Glinka i s with the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation (SPK) where she is the Sc ientific Project Lead of museum4punkt0.
