Workshop by Tomáš Marek: "Basic principles of data visualization in academic practice"

Visual representations of data are powerful tools of scholarly communication. However, extensive research shows that they are not always used with sufficient functionality. This lecture and follow-up workshop will focus on the basic principles and rules of data visualization and their application. The lesson will focus on data visualization foundations and concepts, such as data-ink ratio, chartjunk or memorability. We will dive shortly into relevant cognitive science topics, such as pre-attentive processing or memory. We'll then focus on reflecting these principles in real-world dataviz examples during the workshop.

The workshop is happening on Friday, June 18th, 10:00 - 12:00 (ZOOM link)
