Data visualization is the transformation of data into pictures. This transformation is done to better understand and communicate the data, in terms of relationships, distributions and other aspects. Data visualization is important at various stages of experimental research, i.e. for the exploration, interpretation and publication of data. But how do you visualize data, practically, and efficiently?

R is a popular open source software package with great support for data visualization. This workshop aims to get you started with data visualization in R. This will be done in base R as well as with the {ggplot2} package. After an introduction, several data visualizations will be demonstrated in a hands-on session.

Call for input

We would love to hear from you! Which type of data visualization are you interested in? Do you have a visualization challenge and/or would like us to use your data for the hands-on session? Have you seen a data visualization that you want to learn to reproduce? Send your data and ideas to Anna Heintz-Buschart  or Joachim Goedhart.

To prepare the workshop, we would like to have your response before July 31st.

Prerequisites: This workshop uses R/Rstudio. You can follow the workshop with or without prior experience with R.
