Data Visualization & Storytelling for Scientists
Of course your research matters — but are people seeing why? This workshop empowers scientists and researchers to transform complex data into compelling visuals and narratives. Designed for PhD candidates, early-career researchers, and scientific communicators, the course blends practical tools with storytelling strategies to help you engage any audience — from fellow researchers to funders or the public. Through a mix of structured input and hands-on practice, you’ll learn to create visuals that clarify your data, avoid common missteps, and adapt your message to different settings. Whether you're presenting results, writing papers, or pitching ideas, you’ll explore how visual design can highlight the value of your work. Bring your own data or use sample sets — and discover how the right figure can make your findings not just understood, but unforgettable.
