Weekly Reading: The Functional Art -Profile 5 & 6

Profile 5 talks about a germany data visualization designer who pursue the "perfect precision." That reminds me a joke in  my childhood about this trait of Germany (not teasing, I really appraciate this sprits, just want to show that their rigorous style is famous around the world). The story is, an older couple traveled to China, and they want try some special Chinese dishes. Before enjoying their food, they do a lot of researches for checking whether the food is safe and health to eat. They investigated foods' compositions, whether they would have chemical reaction with other ingredients, etc.. Finally, they got agree on a conclusion that the food is safe, then they felt relieved to eat. This story is somewhat exaggerative, but reflect a true characteristics of this nation.

Profile 6 introduce a professor Geoff McGhee, whose role is like a bridge between newsrooms and academia. He offered a new version of this field, which might be another choice for people choose their career. below is my note of these two profiles.
