🦉 BIG update to vispubs.com!! 🚀 I pushed CHI, EuroVis, and VIS 2025 late last night. I'm especially excited by the many amazing research artifacts available for VIS this year. I'm always so inspired by the creativity, technical abilities, and academic rigor of our community.

I just arrived in Vienna for #IEEEVIS 2025! I'm super excited for a full week of visualization research conversations! Please reach out if you want to chat! I'm also officially on the faculty job market, so I'm eager to hear about any opportunities ;)

Do you use data visualizations 📊 or add annotations to them? My collaborators and I are doing a study on how people use visualizations in their work — we'd love to interview you! Survey: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... Book a time: calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0...

UpSet won the #ieeevis InfoVis 10-year test of time award 🎉. Thanks to @ngehlenborg.bsky.social @henstr.bsky.social Romain Vuillemot, and Hanspeter Pfister for being an awesome team to work with on this. I wrote up my reflections on what made UpSet successful: vdl.sci.utah.edu/blog/2024/10...

Reflections on UpSet

This blog post was triggered by UpSet winning the 10-year Test of Time Award at IEEE VIS. In this post, I reflect on how UpSet came about, and what made it successful.

I'm excited to announce the release of our tool Color Buddy! It’s a vis color palette designer built on good color science (incl. spaces like LAB/OKLCH) AND it has modern favs like direct manip & AI fiddles. Spicier: it checks your palette (for a11y/design/etc issues) as you go!

Vote for Vispubs.com! No, vispubs is not running for office, but I want to know what publications you would like to be added to vispubs. I was going to have a physical ballot at #ieeevis by my poster, but at least now I won't have to count the ballots :) forms.gle/Zht1fcwtXwoB...

I've added publications for VIS 2024 to VisPubs.com! (just in time for VIS) The papers include links to preprints, supplemental material, preregistration, and the conference website link.

🎉 Exciting News! 🎓✨ I’m thrilled to share that I’ve completed my PhD! I am extremely grateful that I was able to work with @alex-lex.bsky.social and VDL throughout my PhD! ALSO, I have started a postdoc at Harvard Medical School in the HIDIVE Lab, run by @ngehlenborg.bsky.social!

Can we save interactions in visualizations in Jupyter notebooks? Can we replay the interactions when we re-run the cell? Can we use the interactive selections/filters in the code? We address these questions in our work — Persist. Read our latest blog or this 🧵 (1/5) vdl.sci.utah.edu/blog/2024/05...

VisPubs.com now includes visualization papers from CHI! To determine if a paper is a "visualization" paper I check if the title or abstract contains at least one visualization keyword. 726 of the ~10k CHI papers are now on the site!
