eagereyes – Robert Kosara

I talk about data visualization, visual communication, and data in general. My background (and day job) is research in information visualization. I've been writing about academic topics on my blog, eagereyes.org, since 2006.

The goal of this channel Is to cover topics that are better explained in video, and using more visuals, than writing. I aim for about 5-8 minutes in my videos, to keep them short and to the point.

Please let me know what you think, and feel free to post questions!
