Visual stories
Presenting scientific information is challenging. You have to take your audience’s needs into consideration and give them enough information to make your message both clear and memorable.
In this course, you’ll learn data visualization design principles, storytelling techniques, and presentation skills that will help you deliver an impactful research story. You’ll make crisp, tailored visuals and animate your graphs. You’ll choose and craft the right story and send your audience home with a message they will remember, apply, and share.
We will teach you how to create impactful research stories using a step-by-step process from determining your purpose to constructing the story, from designing the ultimate visuals to learning how to deliver your story with impact.

- Identify your key message and tailor it to your audience
