obviously there's no one answer to these or related anxieties, but it was honestly a little cathartic to hear people voicing some woes related to these

(if you are longing for the in person vis experience, know that if you had got trapped in a party conversation with me, this is probably what i'd talk about :)

@mcnutt you're making me think more about this again. The thing is, vis is different than most fields, especially in it's interdisciplinary nature. In practice, it's about communicating things...usually to people who don't already know them deeply. And that, in itself, is incredibly challenging. Why do we need to exist, as vis experts? Why doesn't an 'expert' in a subject just 'make charts'? Umm...have you seen the average 'charts' in any scientific research paper or poster?
