When I finished my PhD some years ago, I couldn’t find a position in which I allowed me to continue (data vis) design studies in the biological domain.
Today, I am very excited to share a job position that I wish I had. #biovis #aiml

[Ryo Sakai @ryodejaneiro]

It is a data vis researcher role in biological domain at the intersection of biomedical research and AI/ML at GSK. I also have another similar role, but focusing more on software engineering side.

Location can be in the US or UK. Interested?

[Ryo Sakai @ryodejaneiro]

I cannot recall where I heard or read this, or who's quote this is... something along the line of "the most insightful visualisation is the one you throw away, and leads to a new one" Any idea, data vis folks?

[Ryo Sakai @ryodejaneiro]

This article resonated with me. What I do is this UXE, but prototypes with data and biology. https://t.co/Ds10c9QTYo

Svelte + tidy.js is like ggplot2 + dplyr on steroids

I had to take a train for the first time since lockdowns, and I missed the train because it was operating 1 min ahead of its schedule! I don’t know I feel annoyed or happy for it, probably both🤷🏻‍♂️

[Ryo Sakai @ryodejaneiro]

I love when you read something where someone articulates the thing you been mulling over so eloquently. The forward by @AlbertoCairo of Data Sketches by @NadiehBremer @sxywu is a great read! Excited to read the rest of this heavy and beautiful book!

[Ryo Sakai @ryodejaneiro]

@jandot @maartenzam 🤯wow I’m late to the party! Have to look into it

[Ryo Sakai @ryodejaneiro]

Learning svelte... from imperative to declarative... the reactivity and bindings are such a paradigm shift that my head hurts, but it is awesome.

[Ryo Sakai @ryodejaneiro]

@hulmed It is modular, so you can scale. No?Maybe not for developing a massive app, but for my use cases, it’s perfect and more than sufficient!

[Ryo Sakai @ryodejaneiro]

@hulmed I will take it if it means quicker dev and less error! And it bundles a much smaller js file! 🙀

[Ryo Sakai @ryodejaneiro]

Kaizen, Kanban, Gemba .... what else is there? I didn't not know the use of Gemba (現場) to refer to the place where value is created in business. 🤣

[Ryo Sakai @ryodejaneiro]

I am not a fan of data type taxonomy of "qualitative vs quantitative" data. I tend to think of qualitative/quantitative research/question when I here these words and really throws me off when I read "nominal data is a form of qualitative data"... Any thoughts #dataviz folks?

[Ryo Sakai @ryodejaneiro]

Trying to get these shortcuts into my muscle memory.... I love the "K/J" when the page is unfocused. Its a game changer! What is your favourite shortcuts? https://t.co/658gIbRMjV

Love this pie chart 😂 https://t.co/ylDLP99TLq

Super fascinating talk by @jeffrey_heer. My objective for 2020 is to apply the inspiration to biology! #PredictiveInteraction

My #NeurIPS2019 invited talk, "Agency + Automation: Designing Artificial Intelligence into Interactive Systems" is online here: https://t.co/RlmmSsDzUI

Love the visual metaphors used in this video! Very nice piece on immuno-oncology: https://t.co/zNoqbdyQRu

Interested in biology and data visualisation? We're running our dataviz-for-biology workshop again at the EBI in March 2020.: https://t.co/dTyTC74SD8. We'll be going over the theory, work on visual design, and implement interesting things using vega-lite and D3. Please distribute

[Ryo Sakai @ryodejaneiro]

Love this!

NEW! 🎉 Created in 2017, and finally able to reveal: a GIANT poster (A0-sized) made for Janssen to reveal their ingredients/drugs and usage across the world over a 10 year timeframe 💊 https://t.co/1wkklJ8ihu

(it's all tiny because it's meant to be seen big 😉)
