Nice

Potential project for some DataVis.

So this popped up in my FB feed today:

It's really too bad that the Falcons and Saints each didn't win one more non-divisional game earlier in the year. If that was the case, then a Saints win today would put all four teams at 8-9. Mediocrity exemplified.

Very nice. Useful for Vis classes.

With the MLB All-Star Game happening next week in Cobb, there's about to be a barrage of propaganda about what an economic success it has been. This isn't true. I wrote up a report with all the data 3 years ago. It's a net cost to taxpayers of -$15 million/year. www.kennesaw.edu/coles/center...

VIS-SEA (VIS - South EAst) is taking place @EmoryUniversity July 20-22. Please share -- all vis researchers, students welcome to attend! RSVP here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…. Sign up for a project pitch and get feedback here: forms.gle/Cidbs3nR4rz7Lv���.

All this AI/LLM stuff - You can go ahead and thank Clippy. 😉

Thank you.

I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%. I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

Wow, that’s great.

Just the tip of the iceberg.

Why don’t offensive coordinators around the league steal a bunch of Reid’s plays and formations? So many brilliant concepts. #nfl

Are you looking for #PhD student positions in data visualization, visual analytics, #HCI research? I am recruiting multiple #PhD students (fully funded) to join my group at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology #HKUST in Fall 2025. If interested, EMAIL me! Reposts appreciated 🙏 [1/2]

We introduced folks a Georgia Tech to revisit.dev yesterday in a workshop. Check out our slides to learn more about how to run a user study with revisit! #datavis sci.utah.edu/~vdl/talks/2... sci.utah.edu/~vdl/talks/2...

The students in our fall Data Visualization course created a great set of projects again. Topics this past fall included hip-hop music, fish populations, the Office TV show, MLB rules, national parks, UFOs, climate change, and many other. The webpage below links to their sites and videos.

Amen

Highly recommended follow. The account takes current photos from sports and identifies similar works of art from the past. Brilliant. 👍

Why is it that when the student course reviews come out, I tend to overlook the large number of extremely nice, positive ones, but get really bothered by the few negative remarks?

I almost feel like a parody of myself being obsessed with a YouTube channel called "Saxsquatch" where a man in a Bigfoot costume plays chill ass sax over looping beats in a forest youtu.be/I1lUTER8Eek?...

Nice.

Lovely article by University of Michigan Computer Science & Engineering about our Program in Computing for the Arts and Sciences. cse-report.engin.umich.edu/2024/10/25/c...
