✨Day 2 of Boston VIS was fantastic! 🫶🏼 We hosted a watch party, had a live talk from Best Short Paper winner @shivamravalxai 🏆, enjoyed delicious pastries and coffee, and wrapped up with a fun end-of-day party. 🎉 BostonVIS.org @ieeevis

I've recently started delving into the history, current state, and future of Visual Analytics. I've found several related resources linked in this 🧵, and I would greatly appreciate it if the community could share other papers/books/articles/videos that I might be missing!

IEEE VIS’22 is over, but we’re taking home a great reflection on visual thinking by the keynote speaker Dr. Kerry Magruder. Is the history of science case studies applicable to our field? What are the cultural connections or meta-reflections which relate to our work? @ieeevis

Remco Chang in second @VisualDataSci keynote at #ieeevis: Towards a Unifying Theory of Data, Task, and Visualization with a Grammar of Hypothesis Argues we're too nice to each other and keep expanding scope of "task" in each paper until it's so broad that we can't operationalize

So stinkin’ proud of Eddy and Daniel, our undergrad students who presented their summer work on “Analysis Without Data: Teaching Students to Tackle the VAST Challenge” at @VisGuides — their first #ieeevis conference! bit.ly/vast-guideline

Super pumped that people are excited about our hypothesis grammar. We’ve been thinking about this space for a while now - what questions can a visualization answer, and what questions could an analyst ask about their data? The grammar gives us a cool way to connect the dots!

I'm now curious to read the paper, with co-authors @NotAshleySuh Yilan Jiang, Ab Mosca, @sirrice arxiv.org/abs/2204.14267 Great Q: where does insight fit in - spikes shooting out?? #ieeevis

Attended the Data Materialization talk by Prof. Courtney Starrett from the Texas A&M University, and Susan Reiser from the University of North Carolina at Asheville! They shared a cute example on how to map data to worry beads. So inspirational! @art_starrett @SusanLReiser

Loving some of the amazing keynote presentations by @ieeevis women this year. So far @jennwvaughan for #TREX, @BTversky for #VisPsych, @FinaleDoshi and @JessicaHullman for #VDS. What others am I missing? + Sheelagh Carpendale coming up on Friday for the VIS capstone.
