Hullman started her career as faculty at the University of Washington Information School, where she was also adjunct assistant professor in Computer Science, and affiliated with the Interactive Data Lab and DUB (Design Use Build) group.
Work
Jessica Hullman has published peer-reviewed journal articles on topics including uncertainty visualization, Bayesian cognition, automated design of data visualizations, narrative visualization, and evaluation of visualizations. Her work has contributed new visualization types to help readers develop an intuitive sense of uncertainty, such as hypothetical outcome plots. Notable works include
- Visual Reasoning Strategies for Effect Size Judgments and Decisions[2]
- In Pursuit of Error: A Survey of Uncertainty Visualization Evaluation[3]
- Visualization rhetoric: Framing effects in narrative visualization[4]
- Why Authors Don't Visualize Uncertainty[5]
- Hypothetical Outcome Plots Outperform Error Bars and Violin Plots for Inferences about Reliability of Variable Ordering[6]
Hullman has given many invited lectures and keynote presentations, including "Strategic Communication of Uncertainty" to the President's Council of Advisors on Science & Technology, "How to Visually Communicate Uncertain Data" to the Conference on Global Risk, Uncertainty, & Volatility, "Beyond Visualization: Theories of Inference to Improve Data Analysis & Communication" [7] and "The Visual Uncertainty Experience" at OpenVisConf.[8] Hullman is co-director of the Midwest Uncertainty (MU) Collective at Northwestern University.
In addition to her scholarly work, Hullman has written articles for the popular press related to visualizing uncertainty, including for Wired ("Is Your Chart a Detective Story? Or a Police Report?", with Andrew Gelman),[9] Scientific American, The Hill and National Review ("We Need Better Risk Communication to Combat the Coronavirus", with Allison Schrager).[10] She is a contributor to Andrew Gelman's blog, Statistical Modeling, Causal Inference, and Social Science and is the founder and editor of Multiple Views, a blog on visualization research.
