The lecture will introduce a framework to think about what data you have (what is the structure and the data types), why you want to visualize it (actions and target), and how to do it (encode and map). It will highlight rules of thumb and common pitfalls and explain how ethics can help in the process of visualization.

Science communication trainings and lectures
In the series of Science communication workshops and lectures, well recognised experts present how to communicate science and scientific data to the public or professional community. These trainings are being held under the auspices and with organisational support of the Implementation Research Network in Stroke Care Quality (IRENE COST Action – CA18118).
