Zen Faulkes, author of Better Posters visits PolicyViz Podcast to talk about creating an infographic or presentation slides or data visualization. Even though it's specific to this one part of data communication, I think there's a lot going on here that a lot of us can learn about data communication. So we talk about Zen's background, coming into this poster area. He talked about his interest in design, working with data academics, what it's like to actually be in a conference poster session if you've never been to one. It's quite an interesting experience, and Zen will talk a lot about that in the interview today about what it means actually to sit in this huge room of so many different people talking about their content. The post Episode #206: Zen Faulkes appeared first on PolicyViz.
