Dan Calacci with PI: Hillary MUSHKIN | CALTECH

Part of the 2020 Data to Discovery Summer Data Visualization Program Final Presentations.

Challenge

Visual and interaction design methods are often rendered hidden in modern scientific practice. What would it mean if design were a core part of our modern research practice?

Resolution

We present our design process with researchers at JPL and Caltech as a marker in the evolving historical relationships between the fields. Through text and images, we offer a glimpse into the importance of visual and interaction design methods both as a way of knowing and as a common way of contributing to science in the modern era.
