Course description

Do you want to become a better visual communicator of your research? This course provides you with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills to create scientific visualisations that clearly communicate your message, as well as strategies for generating ideas. Through lectures, practical exercises, and discussions you will develop your critical awareness of what makes a visualisation effective, and your ability to target your visualisations to different audiences and formats of publication. During the course you will develop your own visualisation, with feedback from peers and teachers.
