This comprehensive communication training will enable you to visually communicate your complex research ideas and findings so your messages are effortlessly understood by any target audience (scientists or non scientists). You will understand how human visual perception works and how visual strategies and design approaches can be used to create effective scientific images, posters, and slides. This is an immersive training, structured, easy to follow, memorable, useful, and fun. In addition to the full-day on-campus workshop which includes feedback on your own visuals submitted in advance (figures, slides, graphical abstracts), you will also gain 12 months of access to online video courses on Fundamentals, Slides, Posters, and Grants.
