BioVis is thus foundational and should be taught, validated, and integrated into experimental pipelines. Earlier, scientists used drawings to document and interpret, today, we use visualizations to interpret and make use of biological data.

“Data Vis for Cancer Patient Education“ - a #DataVis #BioVis talk

Link & Abstract: alt-text and also:
biovis.net/2025/meetup/ (right under picture)
Location: Join Zoom Meeting https://tu-dresden.zoom-x.de/j/67863904836?pwd=mVqoyB6DlxAbFAtN7kx0Ka62KHFmUJ.1 Meeting ID: 678 6390 4836 Passcode: BioV!s2025 Cancer care is increasingly guided by precision data, such as patients metabolomic, genetic, transcriptomic, or immune status. This poses a challenge for clinicians to communicate treatment decisions. To bridge this gap we therefore developed, evaluated, and adopted visual treatment timelines for cancer patient education. Data visualizations help humans to understand data and are especially effective to communicate risks, uncertainties, or large data and have proven to be a suitable help in cancer communication.

Visualising science: communicating complex research with information graphics at @nature.com

This from Nik Spencer/Jasiek Krzysztofiak for BioVis Meetup Sept 2024.

Maybe researchers/scientists should be taught to think about viz in this way ?

“Collaborating with Biomedical AI through Visual Explanations and Interactive Guidance“ - a #DataVis #BioVis talk by
Qianwen Wang, Univ Minnesota

Link: biovis.net/2025/meetup/ (right under picture)
Abstract: see alt-text
Announcement for talk: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has advanced at a rapid pace and is expected to revolutionize many biomedical applications. However, current AI methods are usually developed via a data-centric approach regardless of the usage context and the end users, posing challenges for domain users in interpreting AI, obtaining actionable insights, and collaborating with AI in decision-making and knowledge discovery. In this talk, I discussed how this challenge can be addressed by combining interactive visualizations with interpretable AI. Specifically, I present two methodologies: 1) visualizations that explain AI models and predictions and 2) interaction mechanisms that integrate user feedback into AI models. Despite some challenges, I will conclude on an optimistic note: interactive visual explanations should be indispensable for human-AI collaboration. The methodology discussed can be applied generally to other applications where human-AI collaborations are involved, assisting domain experts in data exploration and insight generation with the help of AI.

.... but above all, in times like this, we should act local and help our communities. To protect against anti-science, false promises, and fascism.

Will make more #stickers, until then feel free to re-use my template CC0 FTW
