Years of making molecular visualizations taught me a hard truth: the prettiest images are often the least accurate. Vibrant rainbows, distorted scales, over‑simplified structures, or non‑color‑blind‑friendly palettes can mislead. I now put function first, then form—clarity over flash. What visualization pitfalls have you run into? 🎨🔬

🧵 Fun little story: I had to lead a workshop (1 h 45 min) about my thesis topic last Wednesday.

The topic was "Facilitating historical empathy in Archaeology through scientific visualization". Since the workshop was pretty short, I ended up coming up with the following idea. (…)

Did an IG takeover of ZHdK‘s Knowledge Visualization account a few days ago where I got to introduce the topic of my MA thesis, historical empathy in archaeological visualization.

I couldn‘t properly export the story, but here‘s a screen recording of the „slides“ for anyone who‘s interested.

5 Questions that relate to my MA thesis

Your input would help me determine which avenues to pursue and which aspects to look into in more detail.

The questions are in the replies to this thread.

Your help and support is very much appreciated and will help me to determine some main factors in and inform major development paths for the project.

Warming stripes (Climatology 🌍)

Warming stripes are data visualization graphics that use a series of coloured stripes chronologically ordered to visually portray long-term temperature trends. Warming stripes reflect a "minimalist" style, conceived to use colour alone to avoid technical distractions to intuitively convey global warm...

MA-Thesis Research: A question to archeologists, anthropologists and historians on here.

When creating reconstructions (illustrations, animations, …), do you consider it important to evoke a sense of empathy towards people depicted in the visualization? Meaning: Do you think it's important that the emotional background / landscape of a scene should also be reflected (or taken into account) in the visualization?
