The Competence Enhancement Team of FemChem proudly presents their next Workshop in cooperation with Dr. Jernej Zupanc: Effective Visual Communication of Science: The SEYENS METHOD™.
You will learn to visually communicate your complex research ideas and results, so your messages are effortlessly understood by any specific audience (scientists or non-scientists). We will not only focus on aesthetics but also on how knowledge on human visual perception can help you create effective scientific images, slides, and posters.
You will design a graphical abstract of your research, discuss it with peer scientists in a group exercise, and get actionable advice and feedback on your own images and slides. It is an immersive workshop, comprehensive, structured, memorable, easy to follow, useful and fun.
The training is offered as blended learning that combines a self-study module and an online live workshop.
1. Self-study via an online platform 12-month access
- Communicating with scientific vs non-scientific audiences
- Visual perception and what humans find intuitive
- Layout: simplifying comprehension through a structured layout
- Eye-flow: effortlessly guide the audience through the design
- Colors: how to amplify, not ‘fancify’
- Typography for legibility, structure, and aesthetics
- Slides that amplify messages and do not distract when presenting
- Posters: strategy and process for creating posters that attract and explain
- Homework: you submit your images and slides for feedback.
The self-study module will also be available as live webinar (dates will be announced!).
2. Online Workshop self-study module partial completion mandatory
- Recap and Q&A: an effective review of self-study topics and optional 1-on-1 consulting with facilitator to address your individual challenges.
- Feedback on submitted materials: you will get actionable suggestions on how to improve your own scientific images and slides.
- Graphical abstract drawing exercise: you will draw a sketch of your research
- Group peer-instruction exercise: we make groups, so everyone learns to give and receive informed feedback to peers.
Our Trainer: Dr. Jernej Zupanc, Founder of Seyens Ltd. (https://www.seyens.com/)
My goal is to help scientists effectively communicate your ideas and findings and make an impact with your research. Teaching and communication are my professional passions. I read and study eclectically and am always looking for approaches from different fields that can be easily applied by scientists. I distill the principles and practices into easy to understand and fun learning experiences. Time is our most valuable resource and I want the time spent in my training to be the best long-term investment a scientist can make. I’ve worked with over 5000 researchers from 150 excellent research institutions and hope to work with you too.
