📊 Everyone is debating the use (or not) of #GenAI, and the #dataviz community is no exception.
My colleagues and I are conducting a survey to understand this moment, and we'd love to hear your thoughts on how this is impacting our field (please share!): survey.au.dk/LinkCollecto...
This post is gold for students of advanced computer graphics courses, I will definitely share it with the students of a course I'm currently running, thanks!!

An interactive #dataviz to explore 300+ papers by similarity. Perfect for:
✨ Discovering papers related to your interests
✨ Planning which sessions to attend
✨ Creating your own paper list (new!)
Pls help me distribute it
Looking forward to listening to your presentation!

Dear US colleague scientists exposed to multiple unprecedented pressures on academic freedom, up to brutal and unfair firing,
I do not know how to best help you in these horrible circumstances.
You are not alone.
Once again, the New York Times gives the dataviz community an opportunity to reflect on its purpose.
Can everything be quantified and turned into a chart?
Most important: what are the consequences of a chart?
If words matter, charts matter too.

A quote by H. Holden Thorp, Editor-in-chief of Science journals, reads: "The weeks ahead may be the greatest test that the US scientific community has ever faced." The text is presented on a black background with white lettering.
"… it is the words and actions of all members of the scientific community … that form the collective voice of science …," writes @holdenthorp.bsky.social in a new #ScienceEditorial. scim.ag/4hR6ux0
Hi there, after some years of silence on the other platform I've just joined BlueSky. #hope
