Want to know why a coyote wanders through your city? What happens when hyenas chew your tires during research? How to get into SciComm? AMA! by AskScienceModerator

Oh hey- I'm in the market for a logo for our Hyenas and Communities project! ....!!

I feel like SciComm is ALL about being visual, as well as of course making the story accessible to your particular audience. I do a lot of social media work, and finding and curating the right visuals is often the most difficult part. I've contracted with a science illustrator on a few different projects recently to enhance the visuals in my scientific publications as well (making a good graphical abstract is becoming increasingly important). I can go on and on, but the short answer is yes yes yes visuals are a huge need/component in SciComm!
