Something we're all in denial about, btw, is that rhetorical infrastructure is one of the central achievements of CS:
• 10-page, open-access paper
• clear abstract
• figure explains the problem on page 1 (or at most 2)
• supported by open code
• written in ... LaTeX ... (ok, no one's perfect)

Taught the first day of "Data for the Rest of Us" and tried an activity I'm calling "We Data." Students construct datasets about themselves in small groups and look for stories in the spreadsheet. A good icebreaker and introduction to the themes of the course. More here:

ok, more to plug. when doing vis, it's our civic duty to reduce complexity, right?
if you enroll with the counterexample police, better put some effort into it. achievement unlocked: "complexity as design material", with a wonderful #vis4dh crowd: arxiv.org/abs/2409.07465
