Abstract:
Visual representations play an essential role in communicating complex scientific phenomena. Effective science communication often requires a team effort, where contributors work together to ensure a faithful translation of scientific evidence, understanding of communication needs, and skillful application of visualization design principles. In this talk, I reflect on two research projects that explore how collaboration—or its absence—impacts the design process of science communication products.
