Happy New Year and Welcome to Season 9 of Code for Thought. The season opens with a ByteSized RSE session - the short online courses with companion episodes for all of you who do science and write code. ByteSized RSE is sponsored by the Universe HPC project. Subject for this episode is data visualisation and how you could use the perception features of our brain (see Gestalt psychology) to tell a compelling story with your data. My guest is Kirsty Pringle from the Software Sustainability Institute in the UK.https://www.interaction-design.org/literature/topics/gestalt-principles Gestalt principles by a user design grouphttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gestalt_psychology a good summary of Gestalt psychologyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_and_information_visualization a summary of data visualisationhttps://matplotlib.org the Python Matplotlib libraryhttps://d3js.org the D3 Javascript libraryhttps://root.cern the Root analysis tool by CERNhttps://www.software.ac.uk the Software Sustainability Institutehttps://www.universe-hpc.ac.uk the Universe-HPC projectGet in touchThank you for listening!
