Workshop Findings. By workshop conveners: Kim Kastens, Tim Shipley, and Martin Storksdieck (last updated 1 May 2018) Introduction Visualizations can be a powerful tool for both thinking and communicating.

Workshop Findings

This website is the product of a workshop designed to gather, organize, and disseminate good ideas for how educators can help learners extract insights from visualizations and express their own ideas via visualizations, and can assess learners' progress towards visualization mastery. By "visualizations," we include both data-driven visualizations (graphs, maps, and other images built from quantitative data) and concept-driven visualizations (diagrams, flow charts, concept maps and other images generated from a concept or theory).

Learning Goals for skillful visualizers We agreed upon a shared set of learning goals that span across disciplines, ages, and visualization types. Overarching takeaways from the workshop Educating Skillful Visualizers workshop. PDB-101: Goodsell Gallery: Coronavirus. Coronavirus, 2020 This painting depicts a coronavirus just entering the lungs, surrounded by mucus secreted by respiratory cells, secreted antibodies, and several small immune systems proteins.

PDB-101: Goodsell Gallery: Coronavirus

The virus is enclosed by a membrane that includes the S (spike) protein, which will mediate attachment and entry into cells, M (membrane) protein, which is involved in organization of the nucleoprotein inside, and E (envelope) protein, which is a membrane channel involved in budding of the virus and may be incorporated into the virion during that process.

Steffen Oeltze from the University of Magdeburg Visualization Group could write this short report on the medical visualization-related papers at IEEE VIS 2013 for us.) I was very happy to see that in 2013, the IEEE Vis conference hosted again a separate session on biomedical visualization. On top of the five talks given in this session, five more interesting talks, also related to MedVis, were distributed over the conference program.

Before the event started, I considered it a good omen that the inwards of the conference hotel looked like a gigantic corpus with the conference attendees accommodated along the costal arches.

Software developers use these documents to build open interfaces and encodings into their products and services. These standards are the main "products" of the Open Geospatial Consortium and have been developed by the membership to address specific interoperability challenges.

GIP 58: The Geologic Time Spiral, A Path to the Past

Most of the evidence for an ancient Earth is contained in the rocks that form the Earth's crust. The rock layers themselves—like pages in a long and complicated history—record the events of the past, and buried within them are the remains of life—the plants and animals that evolved from organic structures that existed 3 billion years ago. Also contained in rocks once molten are radioactive elements whose isotopes provide Earth with an atomic clock. Within these rocks, "parent" isotopes decay at a predictable rate to form "daughter" isotopes. TULP interactive. C82: Works of Nicholas Rougeux. Chandra Sky Map.

This is an illustrated logarithmic scale conception of the observable Universe with the Solar System at the centre. Encircling the Solar System are the inner and outer planets, Kuiper belt, Oort cloud, Alpha Centauri star, Perseus Arm, Milky Way galaxy, Andromeda galaxy, other nearby galaxies, the cosmic web, cosmic microwave radiation, and invisible plasma produced by the Big Bang at the very edges. This 1-minute animation will change your perception of life in the Universe. If extraterrestrial life is anything like what we see on Earth, then chances are it's living on Earth-like planets thousands, or even millions, of light-years from our Solar System.

Today, astronomers have detected over 1,700 extra-solar planets, or exoplanets, with NASA's Kepler Space Telescope. While it's hard to visualise so many planets, a second-year astronomy graduate student at the University of Washington, Ethan Kruse, has found a way that is both mesmerising and oddly humbling. Check out his animation above, where every circle you see is a planet. (Our Solar System is on the far right.)

What you're seeing here is our Solar System among every exoplanet that the Kepler telescope has identified since NASA launched it into space in 2009. In total, the animation reveals a jaw-dropping 1,705 exoplanets in 685 planetary systems - just like our Solar System, many other star systems contain more than one planet. Many exoplanets observed to date are larger than Earth and scorching hot. The Fallen of World War II - Data-driven documentary about war & peace. Why do we visualize data? Why do we visualize data?

Why do we visualize data?

Do data visualizations aim to inform audiences effectively? Or do they simply aim to catch people’s eye, providing the just gist of the data? This is a question which has been hotly debated by some of the leading authors in the field of data visualization recently. Data visualization is a spectrum, determined by your data, your objectives and your audience. Whichever visualization style you choose, it should be the most effective one for the purpose at hand. VisIt. About VisIt VisIt is an Open Source, interactive, scalable, visualization, animation and analysis tool. From Unix, Windows or Mac workstations, users can interactively visualize and analyze data ranging in scale from small (<101 core) desktop-sized projects to large (>105 core) leadership-class computing facility simulation campaigns.

Although we all know it’s not that simple, that’s often how colors are chosen in the real world. Recommendations: Charting a Faster Course to Analytic Insights.
