“In today’s crowded scientific landscape, visuals (graphical abstracts, posters, banners, or even a well-designed slide) can make the difference between being noticed or overlooked. The right illustration clarifies complex ideas, draws attention, and helps your research reach audiences beyond your immediate field. Visual communication is no longer optional. From conference posters to social media, from CVs to online articles, the ability to convey science through images can shape how your work is perceived, and even influence the opportunities that follow. This talk will cover how researchers and science communicators can transform the way they present their work using principles from art, design, and illustration. You’ll learn practical strategies to craft visuals that tell your scientific story clearly and memorably, helping your work (and your career) go further.
