12:15 p.m.–1:30 p.m.
Additional $20 fee is required if not registered for the Grad Student Career Pass

Dairy scientists nowadays are using novel tools to communicate their science to scientists outside their area of expertise and the general public. One of these tools is a graphical abstract, which is a digital representation of your paper's findings and is currently a requirement to publish in JDS Communications.

We'll be joined in this workshop by JDS Communications Editor in Chief Dr. Jess McArt and ADSA Communications Manager Jess Townsend for the tips and tricks to help make your research visually appealing.

This will be a working lunch, so please be sure to bring one of your abstracts in either print or digital form, as we learn about this digital tool to style your science!
