Crafting Visual Explanations of Complex Science: Philosophy and Practice

September 22, 2025 - 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm
Free

This month, Martin Krzywinski, Canada’s Michael Smith Genome Sciences Centre will present “Crafting Visual Explanations of Complex Science: Philosophy and Practice.”

You’ll learn practical guidelines for crafting visual explanations of your science: form follows function, treat everything as data, seek crispness, fight the shackles of convention, and ask yourself “Is this good for the reader or for me?”. To illustrate these ideas concretely, Martin will take you through the process of redesigning figures, posters and graphical abstracts — submitted by you or from past case studies.

Submit your work to see this process applied to graphics that are directly relevant to you: https://bit.ly/matrix-n
