Set off on an Antarctic adventure with Karen Romano Young, creator of the #AntarcticLog comics. Learn how she transforms facts and data into creative comics and learn some visual storytelling methods of your own! Meet a sculptor who turns data into art, a marine scientist, and more in the in-depth “Art@Work” and “Science@Work” features, then try your hand at creating a visual journal. Find out how data helps experts respond to disasters, tracks elusive big cats, and so much more!
But a word of caution before you fall too deeply in love with data. The truth is that not all data tells the whole story. In fact, data can be deceptive, giving too much assurance of an absolute truth when reality may be much more complex. How can you spot these data traps? MUSE will help you become a seasoned pro.
While our methodology may be slightly skewed, we believe 10/10 readers will enjoy this look at the colorful side of data science!
