Initiative for Innovative Computing - Edward Tufte
The Initiative in Innovative Computing, an interdisciplinary program that aims to "foster the creative use of computational resources to address issues at the forefront of data-intensive science," is hosting a talk by Edward Tufte next week. It is easy to forget that Tufte began his career as a political scientist, long before he became known for his work on the visual representation of evidence. His 1975 article on "Determinants of the Outcomes of Midterm Elections" is one of the 20 most-cited articles published in the first 100 years of the APSR. I don't know that I would want to leave political science in the way that Tufte did, but having a job entitled "Senior Critic" sounds like a lot of fun. The details of the talk follow:
