The seminar will also include the use of videos, as explored by GapMinder and others, and participative approaches, as seen in some web 2.0 initiatives; and – although innovative tools are themselves of great interest, and worthy of being presented at the seminar – the focus of the seminar will be on innovative applications of tools, for example, so-called story-telling applications.</p> <p>We want to look at tools and applications for making statistics more popular, while avoiding the pitfalls of populism, over-simplification or propaganda. We want to base all these initiatives on scientific standards, observing the basic principles of objectivity and good communication. We would therefore welcome experts in statistical methodology, cognitive science, and communication as active participants in the workshop.</p></blockquote> <p>It sounds like it could be a good one. </p> http://forums.flowingdata.com/topic/data-visualization-conferences#post-392 Wed, 11 Feb 2009 17:45:24 +0000 wiederkehr 392@http://forums.flowingdata.com/ <p>I'm in the process of creating a complete list of conferences during 2009 abut data visualization.
