DataBytes: Five Ways That Data Visualizations Can Mislead (And How To Fix Them) – Danielle Szafir

DataBytes is a free webinar series hosted by the National Consortium for Data Science (NCDS) and designed to showcase diverse and innovative work in data science. UNC CS Assistant Professor Danielle Szafir will be the DataBytes speaker on February 14.

Visualizations allow people to readily analyze and communicate data. However, many common visualization designs lead to engaging imagery but false conclusions. By understanding what people see when they look at a visualization, we can design visualizations that support more accurate data analysis and avoid unnecessary biases. Join UNC Computer Science Assistant Professor Danielle Szafir as she walks us through best practices in data visualization and analysis. We’ll hold a Q&A session with Dr. Szafir at the end of the meeting.
