How does this session contribute to Seeing Science Differently?
The Australian science communication community has been requesting its own style manual for many years, to improve communication accuracy, consistency and effectiveness. Not only does the manual provide information on writing and editing, it has a dedicated section on showing science information. In this sense, providing the first comprehensive Australian visual style guide for science is fundamental to seeing science differently.
