Curious about how to begin making your own #graphicalabstract? Have a read of my latest blog post: https://t.co/no58rNySVz #science #SciArt With a shout-out to the #scicomm skills of @Animate_Science @AmoebaSisters @McCormackSA and @eliza_coli

Spent today guiding a room full of 3rd year @UniSA STEM students through a workshop on #scicomm, how to give great #presentations and how to design awesome #scientificposters! So much enthusiasm in the room (and so many colours!). There is hope for the #scicomm future yet 😉

@kellydanc That sounds awesome! I would love to hear how you go with your research :)

[Dr Georgia Csortan @Urb_AgScientist]

Are you a researcher or an avid gardener who would love to get your hands on some #openaccess data? Our latest paper on measuring home food gardens in SA is linked to our complete raw dataset! To access: https://t.co/EdDPvQqFR3 #PLOSONE #citizenscience #opendata #scicomm #UniSA

@hansvavra @Sus_MDPI @jilledmondson25 @foodgovernance @oonamorrow @JoseLViveroPol @susfoodshef Looks amazing! I will have to read :)

@echoechoR @Animate_Science @infohackit @gaiusdivifilius Thanks Echo - will do 😊And yes ppt does all the layers and all the colours and shapes so why not!

It took a little longer than expected... but here is the 3-part #graphicalabstract for our 2020 paper (https://t.co/KXlRYbiiNy) #scicomm #storytelling #OpenScience #scicomm It was a feat of crafting separate but related stories and the art of matchy-matchy visuals 😆 Get ready:

[Dr Georgia Csortan @Urb_AgScientist]

@infohackit @Animate_Science @echoechoR @gaiusdivifilius Cheers! Yes I have fun sketching images to include - sometimes drawn on my laptop and sometimes on paper and then photographed in.

[Dr Georgia Csortan @Urb_AgScientist]

@LoicPiret @Animate_Science @echoechoR @infohackit @gaiusdivifilius Thanks Loic!

[Dr Georgia Csortan @Urb_AgScientist]

@LoicPiret @AcademicChatter @Seds_Online @Animate_Science Great graphical abstract - all the graphs are easy to understand and I really like the landscape drawings. Did you draw those yourself? The only thing I wanted to know more is the bigger picture of why this is important, although I can of course get that by reading your paper 😄

[Dr Georgia Csortan @Urb_AgScientist]

@echoechoR @Animate_Science @infohackit @gaiusdivifilius Oh this looks brilliant! Great blog post. I will definitely give this a try as yep I always create my graphical abstracts in Powerpoint as I find it the simplest and most instinctive software to work with 😆

[Dr Georgia Csortan @Urb_AgScientist]

@gaiusdivifilius @Animate_Science @echoechoR @infohackit Thanks Gaius :) I would love to see what you did for your multi-part graphical abstract.

[Dr Georgia Csortan @Urb_AgScientist]

@tahliajperry But look at your amazing climate map figure! So cool

[Dr Georgia Csortan @Urb_AgScientist]

@Animate_Science @echoechoR @infohackit @gaiusdivifilius Thanks Tullio. It was definitely more work but I think it was worth it!

[Dr Georgia Csortan @Urb_AgScientist]

As I received feedback from you guys on the original idea - what do you think of how my 3-part-graphical abstract turned out (in the thread above)? Here's asking @Animate_Science @echoechoR @infohackit @gaiusdivifilius #scicomm #graphicalabstract

[Dr Georgia Csortan @Urb_AgScientist]

And 3! #graphicalabstract
I've been able to use these both separately and together to emphasise and promote different aspects of our paper #worthit Does this mean we need a new hashtag for multi-part graphical abstracts now? Or is that going too far? 🤣

[Dr Georgia Csortan @Urb_AgScientist]

@Gail_Fairlamb Thanks Gail! And cheers for the suggestion - it's always a tricky balance between keeping it clear and concise, and being able to convey enough detail and insight. Plus when it's what you love, you tend to go on more!
