Subject: CSE colloquium by Jevin West, 3:30 Thursday in EE 105
To: Faculty <faculty@cs.washington.edu>, Cs-Grads <cs-grads@cs.washington.edu>, Cs-Ugrads <cs-ugrads@cs.washington.edu>, Escience_bbl <Escience_bbl@u.washington.edu>, talks – Mailing List <talks@cs.washington.edu>Once again, *strong* encouragement to attend Jevin West’s talk on
Today at 3:30.Jevin is a postdoc in UW Biology. He and his collaborators have
developed techniques to process and visualize zillions of journal
citations. I know, this sounds kind of zzzzz. Wrongo. First of all,
the visualizations are incredibly cool. (So cool that Google
Analytics appears to have ripped them off, although Google of course
strongly denies this.) Secondly, incredibly neat insights arise from
this – for example, they have a viz that clearly shows the emergence
of the field of neuroscience as the confluence of several other fields
around 2005.

Do you need to see this talk in order to write your next research paper? No.
Are you at a university for the sole purpose of burrowing
ever-further-down into some little rat-hole, oblivious to all of the
really cool stuff going on around you? Also no.

And come hear Jevin this afternoon.
