Presenting Data
The visual presentation of results, in the form of maps, charts, and graphs, is vitally important in the natural and social sciences. Thinking visually, however, is not something commonly taught in academia. This seminar is an overview of ways to think about data display, including plenty of tips for better visual communication.
