Our next ECE 590 RSS: Remote Sensing and Space Science Seminar will be held on Wednesday, September 30 from 4:00 - 4:50 p.m. Join us on Zoom to hear from Rebecca Pop, X, as she presents "Data visualization best practices."

Abstract: 
Do you want to create more effective graphs? Do you want to learn how to incorporate data storytelling in your papers and presentations? Visualizing data can help communicate complex information simply and with clarity - a skill that is vital for anyone working with data. Join this talk to learn about data storytelling, how to declutter your graphs, and how to think outside the box when choosing a chart. The talk will end with a short but engaging exercise.
