ASA lecture

Free registration link for my American Statistical Association seminar this Thursday.

Welcome to Chartography: insights and delights from the world of data storytelling.

---

This Thursday July 20th noon Pacific Time, join me at the American Statistical Association for a virtual tour of spectacular information graphics.

The ASA is the second oldest continuously operating professional society in the United States. Its history is dripping with data visualization leaders, including president Francis A. Walker and honorary member Florence Nightingale.

See Howard Wainer’s review of my Nightingale book in ASA’s CHANCE magazine (Dropbox link), which concludes:

After reviewing all of these ingredients, it is no surprise that her graphic success is not easily repeated. Even today, her forms are sometimes imitated, but rarely with the surrounding context. Perhaps a future information designer will be more successful once they realize it is the effort, as much as any particular design genius, that is required to do great work.—Howard Wainer

And learn more about our beautiful books at Visionary Press.

Our regular newsletter editions will continue next week.

Onward!—RJ
