I gave a 7-minute Lightning Talk at Quasicon 14.

Here is the podcast of my presentation and here are the slides.

The TL;DR version of my talk: info viz in academia is still in its infancy, but it has great potential to provide value in the information discovery process – namely by giving a sense of context and a sense of relationships in a “glanceable” format.

I’m interested in hearing of any other interesting visualization tools you might have come upon in the academic world (I’m on Twitter @_sferrari).
