Description: The goal of this workshop is to offer participants practical techniques for effective data visualization to enhance scientific communication. Attendees will learn the key principles of data visualization through comprehensive steps in publishing preparation highlighting the importance of effective data visualization in science communication. The presenter will lead you through the data visualization process, including data preparation, selecting the most appropriate graphics for different data types and research questions, managing code in R, and publishing figures and codes on commonly used platforms. By the end of the workshop, attendees will have gained practical knowledge and skills for effective data visualization in scientific communication and be equipped with actionable steps for implementing these strategies in their future research.Speaker: Bingjie Zhou (Tufts)Bingjie Zhou is a Ph.D. candidate at Tufts University's Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy, majoring in Nutrition Epidemiology and Data Science. She worked as a data analyst at Friedman school for two years before joining the Ph.D.program, where she played a key role in leading a collaborative project with Nestle, resulting in the creation of the Global Nutrition and Health Atlas (GNHA) - a data platform aimed at improving health outcomes globally. Bingjie is well-versed in using advanced data visualization tools such as R Shiny and Tableau, and has contributed to numerous data-intensive projects like detecting individual weight trajectory patterns and better communicating with flu and foodborne diseases. Her current research focuses on applying visual analytics to understand the impact of nutrition and health at the global, national, and individual levels.Moderator: Kristin LeonbergI am a PhD student in the Nutrition Epidemiology and Data Science program at the Tufts University Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy.
