For anyone tuning in to virtual #ieeevis24 today, consider catching our work "The Language of Infographics: Toward Understanding Conceptual Metaphor Use in Scientific Storytelling", to be presented in the Text, Annotations, and Metaphors session 🎉

[Laura Garrison @_Laura_Garrison]

In this work, we explored the feasibility of mapping different types of conceptual metaphors (e.g., orientation, where in representing time left can signify "the past" while right "the future") to elements of scientific infographics.

@_mcnutt_ This is really cool!

@FrankElavsky Awesome! Stop by and see us in Bergen next time :)

RTs much appreciated! Exciting postdoc job opp using unique large-scale genetic data to build a population map and history of Norway -- linked with archaeology and linguistics. https://t.co/K0VA0KA5th
Similar in spirit to the cover below (PI was an author) -- but much modernised!

VIS is the best academic conference I’ve been to hands down, a big tent of friendly, smart, open-minded folks working on big problems. If you do work on visualization, data analysis, usable statistics, or applied behavioral science, please consider checking out the conference!

Exciting medical visualization PhD position with my fantastic colleague Noeska Smit!

Buzzing from yet another inspiring and fun @EuroVisConf, made even more special this year with the opportunity to introduce my two new PhD fellows, Roxanne Ziman and Amy Zhang, to the community! #eurovis2024

@vsetlur @chasejstokes @tableau @EuroVisConf This was such a great work to finish out the papers program here!

Love this idea of vis facilitating the data exploration pipeline *even* more with persistence of visual changes back in the code 🤩 #eurovis2024 presented by @alexander_lex [https://t.co/ZLKkGT13h3]

Fantastic STAR on visualization x sonification by @KajetanEnge et al. at @EuroVisConf - love this insight on the islands of research groups active in this space, and makes me wonder how many other topics in our field look like this

[Laura Garrison @_Laura_Garrison]

It’s definitely conference season! On my way to @EuroVisConf for a fun week of science and (re)connecting with colleagues and friends!

@gotdairyya @EuroVisConf See you there!

Today’s inter and cross species interactions sessions at #chi2024 is so heartwarming and neat

Had a wonderful time visiting @bernard_juergen /the IVDA lab and @melassady /the IVIA lab. It’s always fun to exchange ideas and see what new things come out. Thanks for hosting me! Bonus to the trip was the special exhibit on the human body at the Zurich National Museum 🫀

@cagatay_turkay Congratulations!! 🎊
