Description: In this workshop, I will focus on ten different kinds of hypothesis testing via mathematical analysis of visuals in biology: (1) Phenomenological; (2)
Topological; (3)
 Geometric; (4) Spatial Statistics; (5) Networks; (6)
 Iterative Fractal Generation; (7) Fractal Measurement; (7) Bioorthogonal Transformations: Warping, Morphing, Morphometrics, Landmarks; (8) Cellular Automata; (9) 3D rendering;  and (10) Hyperbolic space. In each case, I argue that visual representations are testable hypotheses, help us reason about biological causation, and help us communicate our inferences. For students to be empowered as scientific investigators, I argue that they need more visual tools than linear regression of an X-Y scatterplot of points or a histographic display of frequencies or compositions.
