In this work, we explored the feasibility of mapping different types of conceptual metaphors (e.g., orientation, where in representing time left can signify "the past" while right "the future") to elements of scientific infographics.

For anyone tuning in to virtual #ieeevis24 today, consider catching our work "The Language of Infographics: Toward Understanding Conceptual Metaphor Use in Scientific Storytelling", to be presented in the Text, Annotations, and Metaphors session 🎉

@_mcnutt_ This is really cool!

@FrankElavsky Awesome! Stop by and see us in Bergen next time :)

RTs much appreciated! Exciting postdoc job opp using unique large-scale genetic data to build a population map and history of Norway -- linked with archaeology and linguistics. jobbnorge.no/en/available-j… Similar in spirit to the cover below (PI was an author) -- but much modernised!

Exciting medical visualization PhD position with my fantastic colleague Noeska Smit!

Buzzing from yet another inspiring and fun @EuroVisConf, made even more special this year with the opportunity to introduce my two new PhD fellows, Roxanne Ziman and Amy Zhang, to the community! #eurovis2024

@vsetlur @chasejstokes @tableau @EuroVisConf This was such a great work to finish out the papers program here!

A nice culmination of @chasejstokes’s work during his internship at @tableau. @EuroVisConf

Love this idea of vis facilitating the data exploration pipeline *even* more with persistence of visual changes back in the code 🤩 #eurovis2024 presented by @alexander_lex [github.com/visdesignlab/p…]

Fantastic STAR on visualization x sonification by @KajetanEnge et al. at @EuroVisConf - love this insight on the islands of research groups active in this space, and makes me wonder how many other topics in our field look like this

It’s definitely conference season! On my way to @EuroVisConf for a fun week of science and (re)connecting with colleagues and friends!

@gotdairyya @EuroVisConf See you there!

Today’s inter and cross species interactions sessions at #chi2024 is so heartwarming and neat programs.sigchi.org/chi/2024/progr…

Kicking off #chi2024 with keynote from Kate Crawford (!!) - loved her book Atlas of AI and very stoked for this

At #chi2024 on wednesday 14-15:30 I’ll be presenting our work “When the body became data: historical data cultures and anatomical illustration” in the politics of data session—so excited to be sharing this in Hawaii 🌺 arxiv.org/pdf/2402.05014

Had a wonderful time visiting @bernard_juergen /the IVDA lab and @melassady /the IVIA lab. It’s always fun to exchange ideas and see what new things come out. Thanks for hosting me! Bonus to the trip was the special exhibit on the human body at the Zurich National Museum 🫀

@cagatay_turkay Congratulations!! 🎊

Super happy to be part of this initiative and look forward to welcoming our future PhD candidates for lots of exciting research on #Datavisualization
