Nathan Hodges (Western Carolina University)

Nathan showed us isochrone maps at the October 2023 HETUG and you may remember his Parking Wars: Tableau Edition presentation during our March MAPNess HETUG. Now, we're changing direction--seriously, we're not gherkin your chain here--and now Nathan's going to be parked in the hot seat while we map his journey into data and Tableau.

Parameter Pickle Party!

Kacy Lawrence (Virginia Tech) and Lisa Trescott (MiraCosta)

It must be kismet or something because November 14th is National Pickle Day! Kacy and Lisa are going to show us a peck of Tableau pickles, dill-emmas even, that they've solved with parameters. Yes, we've been promised a pun or two. We can't wait to relish the fun!
