Have you ever been at a loss while drafting your presentation, poster, or figures? Does your data have a story to tell that just needs something more to really tell it right?
This month, graphic designer Laura Foley will lead an interactive workshop on how to convey scientific information of all kinds in a clear, concise, and engaging manner!

Come join us for a lecture-style workshop where graphic designer and presentation coach Laura Foley will share tips and tricks on how to convey scientific information in a clear, concise, and engaging manner. Covering topics such as “Pitching to investors” and “Giving an elevator pitch”, Laura will also demonstrate a series of before-and-after slide makeovers to show you the striking difference a well-made slide can make for your research presentation! 
Light refreshments and snacks will be served.

Bonus: Do you have a STEM slide that’s giving you problems, that isn’t clear, that’s so confusing even you can barely understand it? If so, send it to Laura Foley (laura@lauramfoley.com). She will redesign it for free and it will be featured in this interactive event! Your slide will be anonymized to protect your identity, that of your organization, or client. Please don’t send any slides containing confidential or proprietary information that will fall under an NDA. More info: http://www.massawis.org/event/ppt_nov2018/
