  1. Visualization Friday Forum Fall 2013 Welcome! Announcements: � DiVE Archeology Open House this afternoon, 4-6pm � Data & GIS fall workshops � Data & GIS student job opening � D3 monthly study group

  2. Visualization for Teaching and Research Reporting on the 2013 Gordon Research Conference on Visualization in Science & Education Angela Zoss Data Visualization Coordinator Data & GIS Services, Perkins Library Visualization Friday Forum September 6, 2013

  3. Gordon Research Conferences “ Welcome to the Gordon Research Conferences (GRC), a non-profit organization managed by and for the benefit of the scientific community. The Gordon Research Conferences provide an international forum for the presentation and discussion of frontier research in the biological , chemical , and physical sciences , and their related technologies.” http://www.grc.org/home.aspx, Accessed 9/5/13

  4. “...a uniquely informal, interactive format…” � Full week � Single track � Isolated location, food and housing included � “Off the record”

  5. Example Venue: Bryant University Talks Housing 2 Food Housing 1/ Posters

  6. History of GRC on Visualization � Held 9 times since 1994, currently held biennially � Focus is on visualization for scientific disciplines, for novice and expert audiences (and creators) � Encourages multidisciplinary participation, esp. scientists, designers, and cognitive scientists http://www.grc.org/conferences.aspx?id=0000385

  7. Encouraging Collaboration � Pre-conference workshops one on evaluation/assessment, one on HTML5/ChemDoodle � NASA Visionary Grant Program up to $5k for exploratory research, travel � Discussion time after talks 40 minute talk, 5+ minute neighbor chat, 10+ minute Q&A � Open poster sessions 2 hours every afternoon, informally again in evening � Evening social hour 5 free drink tickets per person

  8. 2013 GRC on Visualization: Topics 1. Groundbreaking research using visualizations 2. Educational applications of visualizations 3. Creating visualizations 4. Engaging the public with visualizations http://www.grc.org/programs.aspx?year=2013&program=visualiz

  9. TOPICS: G ROUNDBREAKING R ESEARCH

  17. TOPICS: C REATING V ISUALIZATIONS

  18. Interactive Data Analysis Tools Dr. Jeff Heer, University of Washington Query using Facebook API � Node-link diagram � Matrix display with clustering � Matrix display, API return order 5000-item result limit Silent failure http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/1473871611415994

  19. Data Wrangling http://vis.stanford.edu/wrangler/

  20. Easy Chemistry Visualizations Jmol, ChemDoodle, Molecular Materials Informatics http://www.chemdoodle.com/ http://jmol.sourceforge.net/ http://molmatinf.com/

  21. Design, Data, Decisions Dr. John Maeda, Rhode Island School of Design art and science design and engineering making questions making solutions Do you really think art is worthwhile for scientists? Art is safe; you won’t kill anyone by creating art. It allows you to hone your ability to fail, which you can then take with you to your work. http://stemtosteam.org/

  22. TOPICS: E NGAGING THE P UBLIC WITH V ISUALIZATION

  23. NOVA’s Education and Outreach Efforts Rachel Connolly, NOVA From public understanding of science to public engagement with science http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/earth/earth-from-space.html

  24. Science Video Journals Dr. Kira Henderson, Journal of Visualized Experiments Using peer-reviewed video journals to improve replicability and accessibility of scientific research http://www.jove.com/video/1993/human-fear-conditioning-conducted-full-immersion-3-dimensional

  25. Visualizing the Earth Systems Dr. Ned Gardiner, NOAA Using visualizations to help people experience the Earth as a system and make well-informed policy decisions http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oudgYtNtg1E

  26. V ISUALIZATION FOR THE M ASSES A personal research journey

  27. Inspiration Decidedly n not for the masses.

  28. Network Literacy � What skills do people need to be able to read network visualizations? þ Dissertation � What do we want people to get out of these visualizations? þ Dissertation � What will motivate them to care? ☐ Dissertation

  29. Teaching Science Through Visualization � Used NASA Visionary Grant Program to develop a proposal for a video podcast � “Visions of Science” ( http://visionsofscience.tv/ ) � Very rough demo ( http://bit.ly/VoSdemo )

  30. Goals � Disseminate powerful scientific visualizations to wider audiences � Promote the public’s understanding of scientific representations � Provide existing research projects a venue for engaging broadly with the public � Showcase positive, diverse role models for people considering careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) fields

  31. Intended Format � 5-10 minute episodes � 2-3 episodes per month � 2 hosts, 1 expert � Expert brings and explains a visualization that can be used to engage with an interesting scientific development

  32. Timeline � Thanks to a starter grant, currently setting up web presence and equipment � Recording host introductions soon � Conducting more practice interviews over the next month or two � Approaching and scheduling experts starting October/November

  33. Suggestions for… � Format changes? � Topics? � Funding sources? � Logo ideas? � Advertising or collaboration opportunities?
