Heading to Phoenix, for IEEE Vis

Most of our group will be at VIS again; we’re especially excited for our first-timers Aspen Hopkins and Jen Rogers.

The University of Utah will also join forces with the Universities of Washington and British Columbia to host a party again - we hope to see you there.

Our activities at VIS are:

• Pascal Goffin presents his paper on An Exploratory Study of Word-Scale Graphics in Data-Rich Text Documents on Thursday morning.
• Sean McKenna (now at Lucid Software) presents his paper on Worksheets for Guiding Novices through the Visualization Design Process.
• Alex Lex is hosting the Visualization in Data Science Symposium on Sunday.
• Alex is also on a paper presented at VDS on Visualization of Big Spatial Data using Coresets for Kernel Density Estimates.
• Alex Bigelow is presenting his poster on Reflections on Working With Fellow Tool Builders.
• Carolina Nobre is presenting her poster on Lineage: Visualizing Multivariate Clinical Data in Genealogy Graphs.
• Aspen Hopkins is presenting her poster on Particulates Matter: Assessing Needs for Air Quality Visualization.
• Sam Quinan is presenting his poster on Hue Bands and Human Perception: Revisiting the Rainbow.
• Ethan Kerzner is wrapping up his PhD. If you’re interested in hiring a soon-to-be graduate, get in touch with him.
• Finally, we’re admitting students and are hiring postdocs. Talk to Miriah or Alex for more info!
