Enrico Bertini is a data visualization researcher at NYU who co-hosts (with Moritz Stefaner) the podcast “Data Stories”, which I highly recommend.
,Jeff Heer is a leading researcher in data visualization; he helped develop D3, Trifacta, Vega, and has had countless other publications. My personal favorite is his already classic 2009 “Brief History of Data Visualization” talk on YouTube.
