Science Communication Using Data Storytelling
Presentation
Overview
Overview
Description
Science communication is, in essence, the practice of describing to others about the research you do. One effective method is through data storytelling-- incorporating graphs and visualizations into a narrative to convey specific insights from your results. Science communication is a vital skill that can be used to drive practical change and clarify meaning about a research topic, and especially to engage with public audiences and scholars unfamiliar with your research. Researchers at UNCW will describe their experiences about how they have effectively communicated their own research to various audiences with the use of figures, visualizations, infographics, and other data objects. This panel will thus offer several disciplinary perspectives about what works and what doesn’t work when it comes to wrangling a research project into a concise, clear narrative. The session will be geared especially (but not exclusively!) for graduate students.
