Data Display: 
How to Effectively Present Your Findings

A workshop for graduate students and senior undergraduate students in the Wiess School of Natural Sciences who want to learn how to design professional-quality figures and tables that will showcase their research results.

December 8, 2009
10:00 a.m. - noon
BL 329

Workshop participants will learn how to
Construct graphs, tables, and other visuals that provide the strongest evidence for research findings
Design visuals for a variety of contexts (e.g., oral presentations, theses, manuscripts, posters)
Recognize the ethical issues in "cooking and trimming" and the cropping, manipulation, and distortion of displayed data.

Participants will be required to submit, through email, a figure or table from the participant's own research (or, if none is available from participant's own research, from the participant's lab or field of study).  These samples will be used in the workshop.
