Episode Details

Happy New Year and Welcome to Season 9 of Code for Thought. The season opens with a ByteSized RSE session - the short online courses with companion episodes for all of you who do science and write code. ByteSized RSE is sponsored by the Universe HPC project. 
Subject for this episode is data visualisation and how you could use the perception features of our brain (see Gestalt psychology) to tell a compelling story with your data. My guest is Kirsty Pringle from the Software Sustainability Institute in the UK.
