Interestingly, the visualization of uncertainty - one of the primary forms we use to communicate it - is a rather unknown field. In this episode, I'm very excited to speak with Paolo Eusebi, who has done research in this field to answer the following questions:

• What can we learn from examples outside of medical research? How is it explained to the general public?
• What’s the current status in medical research?
• How can we become better in communication of uncertainty?
• What are further excellent resources regarding the display uncertainty?
