Information Visions Lab CU Boulder Information Science

📊❤️ The Information Visions Lab is a research group led by Evan Peck in the Information Science Department at the University of Colorado Boulder.

What is does our group do? We study how data profoundly affects people’s lives—from everyday decisions about housing and healthcare to broader policies on climate change and pandemics. We believe everyone deserves the ability to see, use, and make decisions with data, empowering themselves and their communities.

Collectively, we envision a future of data communication that is accessible and equitable to all—regardless of culture, educational background, or ability to afford technology. Our research draws on information visualization tools and techniques to help diverse communities trust, create, and engage with data in meaningful ways.
