The number of transitions between digits is summarized in a series of concentric circles placed outside the links.

To do this, science communication must engage both cognitively and emotionally. I try to make people think and feel good by creating visualization tools and information graphics that combine analytical clarity with an artistic dimension. During my work on cancer genomes, I created Circos, now a community standard for displaying information in this field. More recently, I introduced a method for rationally visualizing networks using hive plots. My information graphics have appeared in the New York Times, Wired, Scientific American and on covers of books and...
