How uncertainty data is visualised can play a significant role in analysis and decision-making, especially involving multiple stakeholders. Even when only one person is responsible for every aspect of analysis and decision-making, visualisation may still play a significant role in how uncertainty is understood-i.e. in how the decision-maker 'communicates uncertainty to themselves.' Using the right visualisation tools can have a positive impact on decision quality. But this positive impact should never be taken for granted: visualisations can also have unexpected side-effects, and there is the risk that they can be misinterpreted or otherwise misused.This primer, published by the Analysis under Uncertainty for Decision-Making network (AU4DM), summarises the current state of the art of uncertainty visualisation research. It brings together a wealth of relevant studies, concepts, and practical tools and recommendations. It also represents research-in-progress: an open invitation for researchers in visualisation, decision analysis, psychology, and other fields to share their findings and to contribute to future editions.

nature sounds without nature sounds aims for a pure expenditure of the energy economies of the anthropocene, latching onto shimmering instants of anxiety and happiness among crisis, precarity and ending worlds. Influenced by the likes of Hélène Cixous, Clarice Lispector, Lisa Robertson, Ariana Reines, Lana Del Rey and the new materialist turn in IDM, it chews the rare candies of late capitalism in the hope of a levelling up or survival. Poetry as cheat code, dreamscape; the lyric as sultry song of aporia and longing. nature sounds reflects the ambient poetics of a fractured present, its sonic palettes and ekphrastic realities erected as desire's latent architecture in the contexts of liminal labour, cherry-flavoured melancholy and the ontological upheavals of ecological emergency. Situated in the microstructures and object universe of everyday life, it nevertheless bears cosmic ambitions: exploring what we ask of meaning and mood, music and image in a time where our every horizon or hermeneutics glitches.

"Roz Kaveney's modern adaptations of Catullus' poems bring them right up to date - in all their, sometimes shocking, 'new-ness': a good reminder how edgy ancient poetry could be."- Mary Beard, Professor of Classics, University of Cambridge"To make Catullus' much-translated poems seem surprising and fresh is a rare achievement - but nothing less than the most scabrous, the most tender of Roman poets deserves. A wonderful feat."- Tom Holland, historian and novelist"Hilarious, poignant, mischievous, distraught, Roz Kaveney's twinkling versions capture the staggering range of Catullus' poetic moods, subjects, and forms … She nails the jokes, uproariously; brilliantly sees how Catullus' world and ours superimpose …"- Nick Lowe, Reader in Classics, Royal Holloway University"In a great time for female translators of Catullus, Roz Kaveney's versions are a particular delight. With her use of language and verse structure, she seems to capture the authentic voice of the poet."- Tony Keen, Adjunct Assistant Professor, University of Notre Dame
