Visual Science Communication
Over the course of my training, a secret joy (dare I say passion?) of every project I contribute to is the opportunity to experiment with graphics. I enjoy the challenge of visualizing data that makes our big questions in social neuroscience easier to see and understand.
If research is my primary focus, my “side quest” as a scientist is creating visual stories that make our complex ideas feel intuitive and accessible. Here are a few of the ones I am super proud of!
Portfolio Examples
Below are a few examples of visual science communication projects I have worked on.

Creating meaningful conversations
A visual summary to capture ways in which we can have meaningful conversations and avoid common missteps. I made this graphic for the book chapter in ‘From Words to Bonds: The Science of Meaningful Conversations’ that our team contributed to in ‘The Quest for Meaning’.

Writing grants is the bread and butter of the science we get to do! But I would argue that having visuals to convey our big ideas to potential funders is just as important. I have had the pleasure of taking the big ideas my collaborators and I have had and finding ways to sucinctly convey our larger scientific vision. This is one of my favorites!
