**Workshop Facilitator:** Leslie Ann Roldan, Lecturer II, MIT  
**Description:** Figures and tables tell the “story” of your research, ultimately helping convince your audience of your findings and the quality of your data. Although such visual aids are the backbone of professional communication, the design will differ whether the aid is used in written or oral communication. This interactive workshop will cover the basics of visual design and tips for tailoring your figures and tables to specific genres.  
***Please email (*<lroldan@mit.edu>*) 2-3 illustrations you are working on, preferably with a full title and legend, using the the subject line: "HMS workshop, 8/2".*   
*The deadline for this assignment is: Friday, 7/28.***  
*Please note: seating is limited and registration is required - preference will be given to Quad-based postdocs.*
