The world is much more interesting than any one discipline.

Data visualization pioneer Edward Tufte on NPR’s Science Friday, a fantastic listen. Tufte’s 1990 masterpiece Envisioning Information remains a must-read.

The Feynman-Tufte Principle: a visual display of data should be simple enough to fit on the side of a van. Data visualization godfather Edward Tufte has rendered Richard Feynman’s famous diagrams — simplified visual representations of the complex space-time patterns of particles and waves of quantum electrodynamics — as stainless steel wire sculptures. Only the best thing ever. On view at the Edward Tufte Gallery in New York starting September 15, 2012. (↬ Kottke)
