Calling all data visualization enthusiasts: the Visualize This! Challenge is back!

Now in its third year, Visualize This! is a Canada-wide competition that celebrates the innovative ways visualization can help researchers explore datasets and answer important scientific questions. Hosted by WestGrid, the 2018 Challenge has a twist: two different datasets to choose from!

You can enter the scientific visualization challenge based on a molecular dynamics simulation dataset, or the humanities visualization challenge based on the Orlando British Women’s Writing Dataset.

Both datasets will be available for downloading as of October 1 and submissions are due no later than November 30.
