The workshop was very educational. I learnt many new concepts that I can apply directly to my work. There was a great balance between online self-study and hands-on workshops, in which we had the chance to apply the concepts ourselves. It was also beneficial to discuss our own examples.

The online resources and the live workshop were extremely useful, and I got valuable feedback on some of my science communication outputs. The only part I did not love was the "design a graphical abstract of your research and present it to your colleagues" exercise. I did not find it particularly useful and would rather have spent the time designing a figure of something more specific (maybe given a prompt), rather than one for something as broad as an entire PhD project.

well structured video lectures and workshop, some practical work and many examples of don'ts and best practice

Good organisation. Clear Tasks and goals

Very valuable and well structured inputs. Will definitely use in the future!

The communication of the speaker was clear and got always to the point.. This is what made the experience great! Asking to shut down the camera when presenting the feedback on our job (to let us focus only on the presented material), use a timer for a wiser and more professional use of the available time, etc. are all details that show an high and solid preparation.

The full concept of the color system and the introduction of google fonts help me a lot.

This was a great workshop which taught me how to be very intentional about how to use visual elements when showing my work.

The 10 hours I spent studying this course (online + workshop) were completely worth my time.

Doing science and presenting science are two different things. At university, I only learned the former, and in this course I learned the latter.

I learned a methodological and evidence-based approach to making scientific presentations, posters, and writing grants.

Great combination of self-learning videos and interactive online workshops

I really appreciated the individual feedback during the event. The suggestions were concrete, constructive, and very helpful for improving my work.

I had a lot of fun during the workshop. The workshop gave me a lot of aspects that I have never considered before.

Valuable training, the hybrid experience helps to cover the basis at your own pace and to address specific strategies to improve your communication with personalized feedback during the live workshop.

It was great

It was very informative, with lots of useful comments on the sensible use of colours in images and slides. However, the colour scheme designer was a bit too much for me. I doubt I will use it. Some of the advice, such as avoiding capital letters in slide titles, is difficult to implement as it forms part of the research centre's corporate design.
I am very sceptical about one point, though: using AI to prioritise the topics of a presentation. This is an exercise that requires constant repetition to train the mind. You shouldn't rely on AI here, especially since it is only based on existing knowledge and does not recognise new concepts. This is something that should really be discussed with your supervisor and the group.

Online course and in-person workshop are both perfect. Although sometimes I had some difficulties in using online platform, the contents are suitable for improving my visual communication skills.

It was in general a bunch of really great advice and creative input on how it is able to make figures and slides much more appealing and much easier to understand. Since this is something nobody teaches people at universities or research labs, it is really good to have this as a guide to design these things.

Really nice training, that helped me a lot to improve and change my figures. Recommended

very in depth insight. a lot of research done on the topic so the information provided seemed very reliable (trustworthy) and useful for further use.

to me discussing the examples in the session was very useful at first but dragged on for too long. i lost focus at some point

nice mini meditation

Very capable lecturer, good examples
