Description:
The training on "Visual Communication of Science" is made for doctoral students, Postdocs, and other researchers. The aim is to train scientists in the principles of visual communication so that they can present their ideas and results clearly and effectively in journal papers and grant proposals, on posters and on slides—one training to cover all of their essential visual communication requirements.
Date: 16-17 May 2022
Format: online
Content:
-
Communicating with scientific vs non-scientific audiences
-
Visual perception and what humans find intuitive
-
Visual organization: simplifying comprehension through structured layout
-
Eye-flow:effortlessly guide the audience through the design
-
Colours:how to amplify, not 'fancify'
-
Discussion on pre-submitted figures: facilitator's feedback on a selection of pre-submitted figures from participants
- Drawing exercise & group work: participants draw a graphical abstract of their research and give each other feedback on how to improve
DAY 2 (9:00 am - 1:30 pm)
- Slides that amplify messages and don't distract when presenting
- Discussion on pre-submitted slides: facilitator's feedback on a selection of slides from participants
- Posters: strategy and process for creating posters that attract and explain
- Group work – posters feedback: participants share their posters and give and receive feedback
Trainer: Facilitator Dr. Jernej Zupanc, Founder of Seyens LTd.
"My goal is to help scientists effectively communicate their ideas and findings and make an impact with their research. Communication is my professional passion. I read and study eclectically, always looking for approaches from diverse fields that scientists can readily apply. I distil the principles and broadly applicable practices into relevant, enjoyable, and engaging learning experiences. Everything is structured, memorable, and facilitated so researchers can learn and apply the new knowledge in the shortest possible time. I want to create the world's best transferrable communication skills training.
Since 2013, I have worked with over 4000 researchers in 22 countries (Europe, US and Asia) and regularly run training for clients around the world at excellent research institutions, universities, and multinational companies.
I did my doctorate and was a postdoc in computer science at the University of Ljubljana and was a Fulbright Scholar at the Northeastern University, Boston. Before my full-time professional dedication to training, I worked at a startup as Head of Computer Vision and as an Evaluator of Horizon 2020 projects for the EC. I also consulted companies on European funding and helped 20 clients receive over €25 million in public and private funding. My professional profile is on LinkedIn."

Content: According to a 2015 report from the International Association of Scientific, Technical and Medical Publishers, as many as 28,000 English-language journals publish 2.5 million articles every year, covering new advances in every field from astronomy to zoology.
It's easy to assume that these journals are top-quality publishing designs, working with only the best scientists to distribute the best research. As you have undoubtedly noticed, truly well-written research papers are not so common. That's partly because writing clearly about complex matters is inherently tricky, but partially because the standards and expectations of scientific writing are set relatively low.
But how to encounter a research article that is clear and easy to follow and truly a pleasure to read? What makes a good research paper?
Together with Prof Schöneberg, the speaker of IRTG, we design a new skilling lecture about revealing /indicating bad and good criteria of publications.
Part I Introduction – 02.06.22
Prof. Schöneberg will introduce and provide criteria to identify truly well-written research papers based on scientific example papers. You will become familiar with the paper structure and the experimental design features and develop a methodological look at the data tables, figures or images.
Part II Hands-on training – 08.06.22
Participants will bring and provide their interesting scientific papers to approach good and bad criteria of publications
Lecturer: Prof. Torsten Schöneberg
Date: 02.06/08.06.2022, 3 p.m. – 4.30 p.m.
Venue: Rudolf-Schoenheimer-Institute, Johannisallee 30, 3rd floor, Seminar room D302
Registration: Sending an email to Lysann.penkalla@medizin.uni-leipzig.de
In the "Alumni Career talks", we welcome our Alumni from the Integrated Research Training Group to speak about their path. With this session, we want to aim at PhD researchers who would like to find out about possible career pathways for scientists. The young researcher will get the chance to ask questions and hear unique, personal stories from working professionals from different fields in academia or industry.
We will announce the invited persons soon.
