Data Visualisation Masterclass

Do you work with large, complex datasets? Data visualization can help. Using principles of human visual perception with modern methods and tools, you can create insightful visual representations of complex data, as well as compelling visualizations for communication.

However, there are few opportunities to receive training in these newly emerging visualization techniques. Thus, we are excited to announce the Data Visualization Masterclass, a one-day tour of state-of-the-art methods, taught by internationally acknowledged experts, and held in conjunction with Vizbi 2018, the 9th international meeting on Visualizing Biological Data.

The masterclass will teach you principles and practices for turning data into insightful visualizations that tell compelling stories. The class is for anyone working with data, including communicators, scientists, programmers, designers, and visual artists.

The key themes of the masterclass include:
- Visual perception principles - dos and don'ts
- Key data visualization methods and tools - a practical guide
- Using visualization and animation for storytelling

It is recommended to bring your own laptop (no specific software required).
