Where
Join us for the second CAMBIUM-Lovejoy Professional Development Session of the spring semester on March 4th from 1:30-3:00PM at Main Library Room 112!
This semester, our focus is science communication. We will be joined by expert guests from around the University of Arizona, all of whom play a role in communicating the science generated by the University of Arizona, from data visualizations to funding pitches.
The Power of Visual Communication and Dangers of Distortion
In this session, participants will...
- Learn why we use data and science visualization
- Explain how data can be represented visually to convey information or tell a story
- Practice assessing the effectiveness of visualizations
Meet The Experts
Join our expert visualizers Ryan Hunt (Publications Analyst and Graphic Designer), Sara Kobilka (of Water Whys VIP and Renaissance Woman Consulting), and Jeff Oliver (UA Data Science Specialist) to explore why we use data and science visualizations, connect to visualization resources at the University of Arizona, and practice your visualization skills!
