Twas the night before the VIS deadline, and all through the space,
The reviewers were waiting to judge my disgrace.
The figures were crammed, the text full of might,
But let’s be real—Reviewer 2 won’t think it’s right.

Throwback to the time I narrated my own visualization like a true PI. Couldn’t afford Morgan Freeman, but we did get team t-shirts.

My hot take: The erasure of scivis in vis research needs to stop. Just read a paper aiming to define universal visualization types. Even TABLES made the cut, but no mention of scivis. This happens often. If you mean infovis, say infovis, but don’t call it "universal" while ignoring an entire field.

Recently had a CT scan and obviously requested the data.
