Professor John Stasko gave his farewell lecture today, titled “Reflections on the Value of Visualization.” John shared stories behind the development of well-known visualization systems such as Jigsaw, visualizations for fault localization, and other software visualizations. He also reflected on teaching experiences, memorable moments from decades of progress in the field, and the broader value of visualization. John noted that “visualization supports investigative analysis, fosters engagement—perhaps even fun and emotion—and helps build trust and deepen understanding of data and its context.” We are so grateful to have you, John — not just for your remarkable accomplishments, but for the kindness, wit, and mentorship you brought to the community.
