How can infographics help communicate scientific findings, especially in the complex field of climate science? In a world of constant data overload, this session by Esther Gonstalla looks at the importance of truly “easy to understand” infographics. What types of infographics work well? What to look for when creating not just stunning visuals, but visuals that tell a story and educate. Esther will share examples of her work from ‘The Ocean Book – How Endangered Are Our Seas’ (Green Books, Cambridge 2019) with a focus on climate change communication.
