To be honest I'm all that familiar with his work; have trhe Visual Display of Quantitative Information book but that's about it...<br /><br />And regarding the 'real' scientist part - thanks, but I don't know if I qualify yet, being an undergrad and all that. But I feel flattered =D ^.^<br /><br /><br />Abbreviating names - I usually don't do that. But this is more of a 'cult' thing - every protistologist knows what TC-S means =P Generally, author abbreviations are a bad thing, I agree, but once in a blue moon there are exceptions... Also, his name is too freaking long. I probably should've introduced it in full at the beginning though...<br /><br />Cheers,<br />-Psi-Psi Wavefunctionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10829712736757471647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3643556495084083743.post-15253762752967893512009-08-20T20:23:43.970-07:002009-08-20T20:23:43.970-07:00Blogging critique:

Since I rather respect that prof, and since it confused me here, I'm going to complain about the use of 'TC-S' in place of a real name.<br /><br />I figured it out... but it was confusing.newsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10670860339440101678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3643556495084083743.post-80801706936185134402009-08-20T20:20:39.744-07:002009-08-20T20:20:39.744-07:00Tangent: Tufte

Never quite understood him.<br /><br />So, Question: Do 'real' scientists (such as yourself) read/follow/utilize Tufte?newsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10670860339440101678noreply@blogger.com
