Creating health literacy about Autoimmune Encephalitis with visuals

[Research from UWE Bristol @UWE_Research]

One of the major challenges facing science communication is engaging society on scientific topics. At this year’s SciComm Conference, PhD researcher Ana Vasconcelos presented research on improving science communication using a participatory design approach https://t.co/VZIQ5qIDgo

Had a great time today giving a workshop on visual sciecomm, this time for participants in the @LeidenU Summer School Science Communication!
Thank you for the invitation @sanneromp20! It's always a great opportunity to come back and enjoy the Netherlands a bit more! 💛

@MargaridaSardo @cnc_uc @SciCommsUWE Eu também gostei de vos conhecer! Obrigada e até lá! 😁

Today at #scicommsw24 I got the opportunity to present my ongoing PhD project about co-designing infographics to communicate about #autoimmune #encephalitis!
Lots of interesting presentations and discussions about participatory research, co-design and inclusion! ✨

Have you been affected by autoimmune encephalitis or are you a clinician with experience of autoimmune #encephalitis?

If yes, please consider taking a few minutes to fill in the below questionnaire

It's finally here! A children's book about "How babies are made" that I had the pleasure of illustrating!
It will be available in bookshops after its launch on 1 June at the Lisbon Book Fair. 🎉

@encephalitis Thank you for supporting this research! ☺️

[Universidade de Coimbra @UnivdeCoimbra]

Scientists from @UnivdeCoimbra will receive over 90,000 euros in funding from @ChanZuckerberg to study the mechanisms of neuronal death in anti-IgLON5, a rare autoimmune disease with a high mortality rate. 🧠

A project about making information easier to understand for people dealing with autoimmune encephalitis!
The questionnaire is available in english and portuguese. :)

Tonight, the tower of the University of Coimbra is in red for #WorldEncephalitisDay!
A very special day to create awareness about #encephalitis, which is also one of the goals of my PhD project in visual scicomm and health literacy.

Fun project: An IKEA manual on "How to build a visual abstract" for scientists interested in communicating their research.

I created this as part of a group project for the Summer Course Scicomm organised by the Science Communication and Society Department at @LeidenU.

Check out the latest issue of BrainStorm, the neuroscience student journal from UBordeaux, with a beautiful cover art done by the amazing @anav_sciart ! Also, congrats @_neuronhub and others for the initiative.

[Ana Vasconcelos 🧠🎨 @anav_sciart]

Great experience collaborating with @_neuronhub to design the cover art of BrainStorm, a neuroscience student journal of the university of Bordeaux.
This was my first experience designing a cover art and I'm quite happy with the final result! 🎨

[Juan Garcia-Ruiz @_neuronhub]

The last issue of the first run of @Sci_BrainStorm is finally out! This project that was so uncertain about a year ago eventually took shape!

Find it here:
