A 3rd BiVi 2017 Keynote Presentation by Bang Wong, Broad Institute of MIT & Harvard and Department of Art as Applied to Medicine, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine
Structural properties of molecules are of primary concern in many fields. This report provides a comprehensive overview on techniques that have been developed in the fields of molecular graphics and visualization with a focus on applications in structural biology. The field heavily relies on computerized geometric and visual representations of three-dimensional, complex, large, and time-varying molecular structures. The report presents a taxonomy that demonstrates which areas of molecular visualization have already been extensively investigated and where the field is currently heading.
Martin Krzywinski (http://mkweb.bcgsc.ca/) gives a great primer on the key principles of effective visual design in biological sciences. During the talk he highlights the principles with examples from various peer-reviewed publications and discusses the practical aspects of effective figure design.

Sara Irina Fabrikant discusses how analysis of scientific data can be enhanced using information visualization, visual analytics, cognition principles, and graphical user interface design. She focuses on the use of evaluation to valid visualization approaches. This talk was presented at VIZBI 2013, an international conference series on visualizing biological data (http://vizbi.org).
