Visualizing Research

The UTS Library has been running some fantastic workshops on Visualizing Research.

The link for the workshop can be found here:

The workshop started out with this 5 minute video.

Some visualisations included: The "Billion Euro-Gram", a visualization of various global financial phenomenon, such as the cost of the global war on terror (€1047 billion) and the size of the global pharmaceutical market (€651 billion).

And: An analysis of Gender differences on social networking sites, showing that women use facebook and twitter more than men, while men use soundcloud and youtube more than women. Overall women use social media more than men.
