  • Overview
  • Approach

Dive into the art and science of data visualization with your own dataset at the helm. This dynamic, interactive workshop will equip you with the skills to enhance audience understanding and influence decision-making, resulting in practical outcomes.

We use drug-discovery examples to help you navigate the ocean of data-communication choices that software offers. During the workshop you’ll apply these lessons to your own data step-by-step, so that you accomplish important work while you learn.

Avoid Common Pitfalls. Our minds turn first to your audience—how they process visual quantities, and how your choices can clarify or obscure your data’s message. This segment concentrates on making it easier for your audience to decode quantitative information, while eliminating interfering noise.

Pinpoint the Essence. Here we focus on the crucial process of distilling complex data into its most meaningful elements. This section introduces the first three steps of our 5-step methodology, demonstrating their application through a real oncology case study from Tyra Biosciences.

Visualize Effectively. The last two steps of our 5-step method concentrate on selecting data-visualization formats that serve your audience. For example, when to choose a table or a graph—and what type of graph—designed so that the meaning of your data sings. As a bonus, you’ll see video of Tyra’s CEO presenting our case study example.

By the conclusion of this workshop, you’ll have gained valuable insights into transforming complex biomedical data into straightforward, actionable information. This workshop is your gateway to becoming a more effective data storyteller. Join us to unlock the full potential of your data, leaving a lasting impression on your audience.

Part 2
60 minutes

Pinpoint the EssenceApplication

Apply the first three steps to your own data in parallel with the Tyra Biosciences case study, which focuses on drug lead optimization:

  • Identify your data’s core message
  • Simplify that message to its essential elements
  • Storyboard your communication for clarity and impact

Part 3
2 x 60 minutes

Visualize Effectively

Apply the last two steps, in parallel with the case study:

  • Select appropriate data visuals, e.g., table vs. graph
  • Design tables and graphs so they highlight your message
  • Build clear slides that inform and guide decisions
