There are a lot of striking examples of bad and misleading visualizations out there. Even specific websites dedicated to the topic can be found. Yet, most of them only discuss charts and maps. Examples for bad 3D visualizations of spatial data (medical, flow, engineering, biological, climate, wheater, ...) are really hard to find.

Does anyone know of a good source for those?

Earlier this year my doctoral dissertation was finally published. It explores how to use #visualization to communicate #performance characteristics of complex software systems.

As I get ready for this year's Maker Faire, I can't help but be nostalgic for the first years of that amazing event, and what we did in those years. I really need to work more on documenting it. Some of the best things I've ever done took place at the Maker Faire :D

A teacher once told me “Oh, I hate teaching the cell. The kids just can’t learn all that vocabulary,” and then walked away. She didn’t even give me the chance to say “that’s because your teaching a…

Im very happy about yesterday‘s #SciVis #Contest challenge session at #ieeevis. Now I can finally reveal the secret prizes I have been hiding for a while: Professional Ultimate #SciVisContest Frisbees 🥏
Congratulations again to the winners 🏆
There are probably some people currently planning what to attend @ #ieeevis conference next week. My highly secret insights reccomend visiting the #SciVis #Contest session on Monday, 14°°. Honestly, we had such great submissions on brain activity data! See you in #Melbourne :)
