Date: Tuesday, June 11, 2024
Time: 9:00 - 10:30 AM MDT
Facilitator: Dr. Sarah Treit
PD Credit: This session is worth 1.5 hours of professional development (PD) credit.
Description
Whether you are writing a grant application, manuscript or presentation, you have limited space to explain your research. Figures that are clear, intuitive and robust to misinterpretation are essential to your success.
Participants learn about the elements of effective figure design, visual communication, and formatting for clarity. Examples from published literature are used to highlight best practices and help learners identify pitfalls in academic data visualizations.
If you have a figure you would like to have reviewed anonymously in the session, please send to grad.pd@ualberta.ca.
