If I was writing a blog about good written communication, I’d point out that acronyms obscure information for the uninitiated, and should be avoided if possible, and spelled out if not. But since I’m writing a blog about visual communication, I’ll give myself a free pass, at least just this once.

Eldon: Tufte is essential reading, I hope you’re enjoying his books.

Heather: Feel free to share the blog. Hopefully I’ll keep it better updated in 2011 (not that I’m out to a good start).

I attended the (smaller) Ocean Sciences meeting last year and was quite happy with that size. I would enjoy hearing more open critiques of posters as that is something I just blogged about! May I share your blog?

of course, tips on presenting graphic representation is also welcome for my own presentations which are usually over-stuffed.
currently enjoying tufte’s latest tome, ‘beautiful evidence’.
