Location: Building 1 (J. Daniel Hall), Room 2600 (AA Conf Room)
Do you want your publications to have better visual impact? Do you want your figures to communicate more information and do it effectively? Wikipedia defines infographics as "…visual representations of information, data or knowledge. These graphics are used where complex information needs to be explained quickly and clearly, such as in signs, maps, journalism, technical writing, and education."  In this session participants see examples of infographics used in publications like Nature and Time, and discuss the effective use and merits of infographics. An overview is given of available resources for faculty who would like to create infographics for their publications and presentations.
