Kristen Sosulski at the Author Lecture Series
Professor Kristen Sosulski (BS '99) joined an Author Lecture Series event to discuss her new book, Data Visualization Made Simple: Insights Into Becoming Visual. Helen Todd, co-founder and CEO of Sociality Squared, moderated a conversation about best practices for data graphics and the insights that come from effective data visualization. 

Professor Sosulski kicked off the the discussion by sharing her aha moment with data visualization: when she combined data with film study in graduate school. She showed a scene from the movie Psycho along with the graphs she created to chart how the movie builds suspense.

Alumni Council Member Phil Nuzhdin (BS ’12) welcomed the speakers and kicked off the evening with introductory remarks. After the discussion and Q&A, guests attended a reception and book signing with Professor Sosulski.
