Activities

With many shifts happening in the research landscape, now is the perfect time to learn or perfect new software skills! Inkscape is a free software similar to Adobe Illustrator that can be used to edit figures and create polished documents of any size. This hands-on workshop will cover the basics of image file types, introduce the Inkscape interface, and walk through the tools and functions that you will need for making figures and posters.

Please register below.

Note: Participants should install the latest version of Inkscape and make sure it is working before attending. If you need help, please contact info@crblm.ca

Workshop leader Anastasia Sares earned her PhD from McGill University, studying the neural underpinnings of stuttering through behavior and fMRI. She is broadly interested in auditory processing in the brain, especially for complex phenomena like language and music, and also has a passion for science communication.

When: Wednesday, June 3, 3:00pm

Where: Online by Zoom – a link will be sent in advance to registered participants.
