When giving presentations, scientists typically don’t have trouble making their complicated work seem…well, complicated. The challenge is in making your message clear and audience appropriate.

Example:
How does life expectancy at birth and the number of children a woman has change by country over a period of one hundred years?

I felt a table with 8 point font coming on, but instead was amazed by this.
Hint: Hit play

Would making a graph like this be helpful in crystallography? Perhaps showing PDB entries by country over the last 60 years? I realize this tool may not be the most useful to our community, but it’s helpful in the sense that it inspires creativity. I now find myself contemplating how I can present research in a way that is clear, concise and creative. How can I help my data tell a story?
