STEMskiller: Skill Set Map for Mentors of Early Career Researchers

RESEARCH AND SCHOLARSHIP: Research data

[Presenting data]

Information presentation and visualization

Definition:

Early career researchers in STEM fields are often called upon to produce compelling visualizations of their findings for scholarly outputs (journal articles, presentations) but may lack prior coursework in this area. Mentors can assign the resources in this section to mentees for self-study or use the examples for creating their own core courses.

Useful resources on Information presentation and visualization:
