PyData Meetup #15: Beautiful Data – Why Data Scientists need to be good at Data Viz

On April 19th 2022, Jodhan Medina will be discussing how important data visualisation is for data scientists. Data is beautiful, let's convince you. Please. You need this.

Description: Humans have always been visual creatures, it's in our nature. People most easily absorb information when it's presented graphically; visuals elude to words and statistics, and are excellent storytellers, especially when the story is complicated (as it tends to be in this data-driven climate).


Visualising data gives most insights into the underlying structure of the data that you wouldn't normally obtain from merely watching a dataset or calculating statistics. However, many experts don't take as much care with their visualisations as they do with data engineering and data management.


In this PyDataTT we will take a look into data visualisation and its many facets, and explore some of the best libraries and software for making stunning visuals.
