How to visualize your scientific ideas and help your audience effortlessly grasp the essence of your research

When reading research papers, conference posters or viewing slide presentations, people look at figures first. To make these effective, we need to follow some fundamental principles and best practices that underlying good visual communication. These are simple to understand and very powerful when applied.

This is a comprehensive workshop that will cover:

This workshop is a useful starting point for those who are considering their next career move.
