Make Your Data Pop!
Posted: 5/7/2026 (CSDE Workshop)
CSDE’s training staff hosted virtual data visualization consultations in April to help students and affiliates strengthen the way they communicate quantitative research. Effective data visualization is essential for making research clear, accessible, and compelling, yet many researchers receive limited formal training in how to present tables and figures in slides, and posters for broader audiences.
CSDE Training Core PI Audrey Dorélien (Sociology), CSDE Affiliate Min Cha (Sociology), and CSDE Training Director Jessica Godwin provided nine consultations for students and affiliates preparing presentations for the Population Association of America 2026 conference, as well as one student preparing a poster for another upcoming conference. During the sessions, participants received targeted feedback on slides and posters, including how to ensure that figures conveyed the main message clearly, that tables were easy to interpret, and that their color choices supported accessibility and readability.
