SUMMARY:Data Visualization Seminar: Helena Jambor
DESCRIPTION:3rd October at 13:00\nOn-site event\nPutous Auditorium\, Joki V
 isitor and Innovation Center\n\nHelena Jambor\, University of Applied Scie
 nces of the Grisons\, Switzerland\nHow to not lie with charts - better dat
 a visualisations for life sciences\nHost: Joanna Pylvänäinen (joanna.pyl
 vanainen@abo.fi)\n\nCoffee and pulla at 12:45\, first come first served!\n
 Register here so that we know how much pulla to order\n\nHelena has a PhD 
 in molecular biology and a lifelong passion for art and design. After comp
 leting a PhD at EMBL\, she worked with multi-dimensional datasets\, images
  and genome-scale data at the Max-Planck Dresden\, before becoming a scien
 tist in biomedical data visualisation\, most recently at the University Ho
 spital Dresden. Since 2024 Helena is an associate professor for data visua
 lisation in Chur/Switzerland and trains and consults in life science data 
 visualisation.\n\nData visualisation is an indispensable tool in modern bi
 ological research\, aiding scientists in the analysis and interpretation o
 f extensive datasets and facilitating the communication of complex scienti
 fic findings. Data visualisations serve three main purposes: analysis and 
 exploration\, presentation of research results\, and communication to the 
 public. Firstly\, data visualization is crucial for analyzing and explorin
 g large research datasets\, such as those in genomics\, high-throughput ex
 periments\, but also results from image analysis. These datasets are too v
 ast for manual analysis\, and purely statistical summaries often fail to c
 apture underlying patterns. Secondly\, visualizations are essential for pr
 esenting research findings. Figures are widely used in scientific articles
  and conference posters\, as they allow readers to effectively grasp compl
 ex data. And\, data visualisation is vital for communicating scientific re
 sults to the public\, as we all witnessed in the challenges of the COVID-1
 9 pandemic. I will highlight examples from my research and education to il
 lustrate why it serves biology well to "take a sad plot and make it better
 ”.\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nIf you wish to meet Helena during her visit 1-3.10\, ki
 ndly email Joanna Pylvänäinen (joanna.pylvanainen@abo.fi) to book a meet
 ing.\n\nLecture is part of the Bioimage Analysis\, Visualisation and Beyon
 d open lecture series. Please check out the other lectures too.
