Alright, gonna try sharing some of my visual strategies + tips for visually communicating science on a more regular basis.

🧵 Let's start off with figure labelling. And let's use this image from a paper I just read as an example:

#science #biology #scicomm #vizscicomm #datacomm Image
First - I love the stippling illustrations. This is a nice technique that offers good contrast between structures.

The labelling, however, is a serious impediment to the eye. Subconsciously, our brains are trying to break this down + are taxed with making sense of this info🧠⚡️ Image
When we visually communicate technical images, we need to be mindful of how the eye travels, what information it's picking apart, and how we can alleviate any strain or taxation that may interfere with - and disrupt - our ability to absorb new information. Image
