Visualization in Science

Old chinese proverb says &laquo ; ; ; A picture is worth a thousand words&raquo ; ; ; . Can you tell how much is worth your plot, chart or graph? Due to an easy access to friendly-to-use graphical and tabular software, sometimes we have opportunity to be too creative. Good data visualization is a fine balance between informativeness and attractiveness. Last year, during this workshop, participants had the opportunity to learn how to avoid traps in the process of data visualization. Now, however, participants could take part in a newer version of the workshop which is expanded with a lot of new features compared to the previous release. Topics that will be discussed during the workshop are:  History of data visualization.  Human visual system.  Optical illusions  what they got to do with it?  Things to absolutely avoid in visualization.  The best and the worst of statistical graphics.  The evils of using 3D effects in graphs.  Pie charts and visualization diets.  Color blind graphs.  Maps: right or wrong? This workshop is particularly intended for students, but all conference attendees are welcome. Especially if they want to discuss examples of bad data visualization. Don't break the Myth: Learn how to create a picture worth a thousand words.
