PART 8; Communicating Science Effectively poster

In real time, as the plenary talk was being delivered, Dr. Charlotte Young from Envision Synergy quietly recorded the seminar as a story board on a large colorful poster in the back of the room. Following the seminar, I was able to view her graphical interpretation of the talk. She had created some really interesting icons, like the various depictions of people, footsteps for a 5 step program, and key phrases and graphical elements from the talk. Combined with a title and subtitle, it was extremely easy to grasp the essential features of the seminar. It was such a good summary that I transferred the poster into the room where Ben Longstaff and I conducted a Science Communication workshop and used it to summarize the talk.

This is the eighth and last post in a series about Bill Dennison's keynote address at the Latornell conference in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
