Hi folks! If you'll be at #chi2025 this year, come check out my new paper "Intra, Extra, Read all about it: How Readers Interpret Visualizations with Intra- and Extratextual Information"!
It's an exploratory interview study examining how students combined information in the visualization (intratextual) with information they already knew (extratextual) to make meaning.

ReVISit 2.0 (revisit.dev) has reached several exciting milestones recently:
📁 Define an **entire** experiment in a single file-- (visualizations, data, study sequence, questionnaires, etc.)
🛫 Pilot and iterate on the experiment within a notebook environment.
📈 Test data collection and prototype your analyses in the same notebook!
See it in action in this clip, where we replicate a correlation perception experiment in ~160 lines of Python.

A young researcher at Northeastern University is doing a survey of crafters and makers.
Have you used data, or represented data, in your work?
Here is the link to the details and survey. I think it's cool that someone finds data + craft a worthy topic of research. And I like to help students.
