“Chart Clinique” with Hans-Jörg Schulz

The chart doctor is in: Bring your ailing visuals to the Chart Clinique for some advice on how to make them better! Whether you've got a paper deadline coming up or have to hand in your thesis soon, you may want to check that your figures and charts show your work in the best possible light. Whether it's a diagram of benchmark data, a visualization of user study results, a flow chart illustrating an algorithm, or a graphical abstract---at the Chart Clinique you can get professional advice on how to improve them. We'll look at everything from common problems and mistakes to simple improvements for chart types, color scales, labeling and legends. And we'll also go over considerations like making your charts consistent, color-blind safe, and photocopier safe, so that no matter who looks at them in whichever way will get the main insights. Together, we'll look at your charts and discuss them in a first come, first serve mode. Please bring your charts in digital form, so that we can zoom into their details. And of course, you can also just come to listen in. Even if you don't have a chart to bring, watch how we discuss improvements for other PhD students' charts and pick up some tricks for your own scientific charting practice.
