I had a blast sharing a talk on the importance of #datavisualization and #accessibility to a hall full of design, computer science, business and psychology students at @BrownUniversity today. I especially enjoyed the discussion at the end. The students' energy was incredible!

I'm excited to return to Philly to share a brand new @DataVizSociety talk, Storytelling with AI and Pictures: A Tale of Connectivity in Outer Space. If you like #storytelling, #space travel, #satellites, #lasers, #MachineLearning and #datavis, then this talk is for you!

@FrankElavsky Thanks for the shout-out and kind feedback @FrankElavsky. This is one of my favorite examples. This approach to interaction states has tested well on an array of visualization types too. Excited to share more in the future too.

Chart accessibility is difficult! Check out my @smashingmag article on how WCAG standards can empower good design rather than constrain it. #Datavisualization #dataaccessibility #a11y #inclusivedesign
