Abstract: 

Data science is only half the job. The results and findings are meaningless unless and until they are communicated to an audience. Most data scientists struggle with narrowing down their amazing findings into succinct and impactful communications that audiences can understand and want to engage with. This talk will teach you research-driven best practices to help you turn your incredible insights into communications with impact. You will learn specific processes to follow to turn numbers into narrative, including how to focus your message, outline and story, and deliver visuals that take advantage of how humans process visual experiences. You will walk away with tangible tidbits that you can start using immediately.
