Dr Tony Rousmaniere PsyD is Associate Director of Counseling at the University of Alaska Fairbanks Student Center for Health and Counseling. Tony has been in touch to share details of some help is seeking from people with data visualisation skills to help work on a fascinating dataset around the clinical outcomes of psychotherapy cases.

Now that we have taken a confident stride into the second half of 2013, I thought it would be a suitable juncture to take stock of what I’m working on and share what is coming up in the remainder of the year.

After completing a logistics task comparable with the early Apollo missions, I have resolved my schedule for visiting Australia in November and can confirm the dates of my three training courses in Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne.

Last month I invited those who might be interested to let me know of where in the world they would like me to arrange my ‘Introduction to Data Visualisation’ training courses. At the time I was specifically interested in exploring options for India and Australia but any location is of course feasible depending on the volume of interest expressed.

As we approach June there is just a month to go until Google Reader is shut down so this is another reminder that if you follow me via RSS you will need to make some changes. If you’ve not already done so, your first decision will be to choose a tool to replace the job of Google Reader.

It feels like it has been a while since I mentioned my book ‘Data Visualization: A Successful Design Process’ but now seems as good a time as any because I have some free eBooks to dish out!

This is a very specific request for anyone potentially interested in my data visualisation training courses in Australia, New Zealand and India. As I start to shape up my next set of training locations I wanted to actively seek input from folks located in these parts of the world.

As most have you have probably read by now, Google is shutting down its popular feed reader Google Reader. For those of us who consume updates from our favourite sites this was a really simple and unfussy tool and it is an annoyance to see it going.

Over the past 18 months it has been a great thrill to have the opportunity to travel the world and deliver training courses in data visualisation.

Every now and then I’m happy to justify to myself a rather indulgent post and today has a particularly warranted feel to it. Today marks the third anniversary since I launched visualisingdata.com and published my first post.
