What can our senses teach us about data? What can data teach us about our senses?    In this episode, we interview Jordan Wirfs-Brock about how we can explore data through all of our senses, especially through the sense of sound.   Jordan Wirfs-Brock recently completed a PhD in Information Science at the University of Colorado Boulder and will be joining Whitman College as an assistant professor in Computer Science in January. Her research explores how to bring data into our everyday lives as a creative material by developing data representations that are participatory and engage all of our senses, especially sound. In the past, she has worked as a data journalist covering the energy industry and as a civic technologist helping non-profit organizations understand their communities through data.   Full show notes for this episode can be found at Radicalai.org.  

Every year, in the mountains of Vermont, a group of ultra runners gather for a 550-mile race called Infinitus. It's one of the toughest trail running races in existence. Jordan Wirfs-Brock was no stranger to ultra marathons, but Infinitus broke her: she failed to finish. Surprisingly, though, the failure turned out to be one of the best things that's ever happened to her. This story first aired in 2016, and it won a gold medal for best independent podcast from Public Radio News Directors, Inc., or PRNDI.   SUPPORT OUT THERE: Become a patron Out There is a proud member of Hub & Spoke.

Do you know what “flatten the curve” means? If so it's likely in part due to the hard work by data visualization designers over the last year. Our society is now more data driven than ever; as everything is quantified, counted, and dumped into spreadsheets, and it's easy to be overwhelmed by numbers. Data visualization designers work to sort through the numbers using both science and creativity to find the stories they have to tell, and help us understand the world a little better. But what goes into designing an effective data visualization, and how do you balance the art and the science of it? In this episode of Wireframe, host Khoi Vinh, and producers Dominic Girard and Pippa Johnstone, learn how designers are building charts, games, and more to take the numb out of numbers.If you've been fighting over housework during lock down, you're not alone. Designer Amy Cesal and her husband, Zander Furnas used data visualization to clean up the messy business of their own household chores, and made the invisible, visible, along the way. Shirley Wu, worried that people weren't taking the pandemic seriously enough. Her data visualization game, People of the Pandemic, helps us understand the consequences of defying stay at home orders. And Alberto Cairo outlines the responsibilities data visualization designers must balance when designing with data. He's the author of How Charts Lie, and the Knight Chair in Visual Journalism at the School of Communication of the University of Miami.The New York Times visualization we referenced is here. The Washington Post's most read article is a data visualization that you can see here. Listen to NASA's X-ray sonification here, the sonification of American COVID deaths here, and Jordan Wirfs-Brock's sonification of last year's stock market volatility here (it happens at 4:18). Find a transcript to this episode here.

Jordan Wirfs-Brock is making innovative sonifications for radio. She is working on a PhD in Information Science at the University of Colorado Boulder. Her research explores how voice interaction, sonification, and narrative support people as they learn to listen to data, producing more meaningful and engaging experiences with information. She has studied how people consume news across various devices and transition between offline and online behaviors.

Take a run with Ultra Stories host John Lacroix, and special guest hosts Kate Welle and Sam Wagner. In this episode, our hosts tackle more answers from the 2019 Stories Ultra. John Zarbock (24, Fort Collins) talks about how he remains hopeful in challenging circumstances, and Jordan Wirfs-Brock (34, Colorado Springs) discusses what she hopes to learn before she dies. Our hosts explore the topics that arise from the runner's answers and dive deeper into the collective conscious of our sport.

Can failure bring out the best in you? We're excited to share one of our favorite outdoor podcasts with you, "Out There Podcast." This week, we chat with host Willow Belden and share her award-winning episode, "High On Failure." Last spring, Jordan Wirfs-Brock attempted one of the toughest trail running races in existence: a 550-miler called Infinitus, which took place in the rugged mountains of Vermont. Jordan wasn't new to ultra running, but this race was more extreme than anything she'd done before. And it broke her: she failed to finish. Curiously, though, the failure didn't leave her feeling defeated. In fact, it turned out to be one of the best things that's ever happened to her. Thanks to our sponsor, Oru Kayak.

Cybersecurity experts like to divide the world into two categories: Those who have been hacked, and those who have been hacked but just don’t know it yet. As the electric grid gets digitized, it becomes increasingly vulnerable to hackers. We know hackers are getting onto the grid -- so how big of a threat do they really pose? Inside Energy’s Jordan Wirfs-Brock reports.

When you think about the biggest energy users in our country, transportation and power plants come to mind. And then there are buildings. They account for one-fifth of our energy use. And much of that energy is pure waste, leaking from walls with poor insulation and lights left on when no one is around. Energy efficiency is one of the few issues with wide support from Republicans and Democrats, as well as private industry. Our Inside Energy reporter Jordan Wirfs-Brock brings us the latest in a series on energy policy and what is likely under the new GOP-controlled Congress.

If you live right next to a drilling rig, or your kids go to school beside a fracking site, or your county is suddenly littered with well pads -- are there health risks? That’s a question that’s been asked from Pennsylvania to North Dakota, from Colorado to Texas as more and more people find themselves and their towns in the midst of an unprecedented energy boom. In this second part of a series on public health risks, Inside Energy reporters Jordan Wirfs-Brock and Leigh Paterson clarify the confusion and describe a new scientific effort to help communities make informed decisions about this booming industry.

Inside Energy reporters Jordan Wirfs-Brock and Dan Boyce discuss Jordan's new grid outage database, which details 15 years of blackouts in the U.S.
