VISUALIZING BIOLOGICAL DATA VIZBI

Now available for download in PDF or PPT format are slides for the following VIZBI 2011 talks: Yoseph Barash, Susumu Goto, Des Higgins, Robert Macleod, Tamara Munzner, Rod Page, John Quakenbush, Herve Tettelin, and Eric Westhof. These slides can also be downloaded from the corresponding video pages.

In addition, slides are also available from the recent workshop on “Data visualization and user interfaces” at ISMB 2011. There were talks on user interfaces by Scooter Morris, on data visualization by Nils Gehlenborg, on visual analytics by Carsten Goerg, and some discussion points by myself.

We are seeking someone to give a hands-on, 1/2-day tutorial on Processing.js as part of the VIZBI 2012 tutorial day (Monday, 5 March 2012, in Heidelberg, Germany). At VIZBI 2011, we offered tutorials for the first time and they were quite popular, with the Processing tutorial attracting the most students. For VIZBI 2012 we would like to offer a Processing.js tutorial; the tutor will receive a share of the tutorial registration fee plus a complementary pass to the VIZBI conference, which takes place on the three days following the tutorial day. To get a flavor of the conference, check out the videos from previous VIZBI meetings. If you are interested in this opportunity, or if you can suggest someone ideal for spreading the word about Processing.js to computational biologists, please get in touch:
