If you care about science communication you must care about how data is visualized ! Effective data visualizations provide new and rapid insights that text and speech struggle to convey. And yet few people are taught how to plot data during their scientific careers. For many of us the education stopped at ‘make sure you label your axes’. But there is so much more to learn if we want to spread our messages clearly and efficiently to a new audience. This course is all about understanding what makes a great data visualization great, and how bad visualizations can confuse and deceive – sometimes intentionally.
