April TC Data Viz - LuminFire

Hey Viz wizards!

We are excited to have a couple of new presenters this month! Join us at LuminFire!

Agenda:
• 5:00 - 5:45pm Happy Hour and Data Viz Critique
• 5:45 - 6:15pm Visualizing the Shape of Data - Kaisa Taipale
• 6:15 - 6:45pm Genome Browser Data Visualization Pattern - Michael Heuer
• 6:45 - 7:00pm Closing

• Visualizing the Shape of Data
  -------------------------------------------
  I have been using topological data analysis to visualize the 'shape' of high-dimensional data sets for a few years now, but there has been a lot of development of packages for this type of visualization in both R and Python. We will look at some examples of topological visualizations of health and financial data sets using both R and Python, comparing visualization strengths and weaknesses.

• Genome Browser Data Visualization Pattern
  --------------------------------------------------------------
  The genome browser data visualization pattern has been used in the field of biological sciences for many years. Data of various types are arranged in parallel tracks aligned to a reference, modeled as a 1-dimensional coordinate system. As our understanding of biology improves, is this model still useful?
