So proud of how far BioRender has come thanks to our incredible team. We launched 3 years ago w/ just a handful of icons and today we save scientists >1 million hrs every month (time otherwise spent in PPT) 🙏🏽

I hope this helps you in your next project! 💙https://t.co/apVHwhGUAU

Presentation design tip: 🎨
An oldie but a goodie.. choose 'sans serif' (non-decorative) fonts for slides. Serif (decorative) fonts are best used for larger bodies of text in print form (that's why a lot of novels are still printed in Times New Roman-like fonts) 📚

Design tip for presentations: 🎨
When repurposing journal figures into presentations, break apart complex panels/figures. Remember that you sharing 'full screen' doesn't mean full screen for others..🖥️💻 (our faces can take up real estate, monitor sizing, etc)

Join me this Thursday for a live design session on how to create (and deliver) a great presentation! I'll continue tweeting tips all week, but some are better to 'show' than 'tell' 🎨👩🏻‍💻

How does the immune system work? Will there be #COVID19 vaccines? @BioRender & I put together ‘immunology 101 tweetorial for non-immunologists’. @jerryguartist, @shizaoki, @JungHeeSciViz also made this accompanying video. Please share widely! (1/n)

This seems like an absurdly bad idea.... 😱

In the process of 'building herd immunity', a large number of high risk individuals (older people and those with underlying conditions) will die. #COVID19
