Session Chair(s)

Given the volume of data to review and the variety of analyses to perform, it should come as no surprise that clear insight is often out of reach. In this environment, the traditional means of data summary – tables and listings – are ineffective; visualization is the key to effective communication for the modern age. Ben Shneiderman stated that “the purpose of visualization is insight.” Therefore, the goal of this session is to describe innovative data visualization techniques to aid in the understanding and communication of results from applications in the life sciences.
Learning Objective : Describe the transition from traditional methods of data analysis to visual approaches; Explain and interpret life science data using one or more data visualizations; Assess the strengths and limitations of various graphical techniques; Appraise the “data story” of numerous examples.
