From @Nature: "Science communication can do more to embrace uncertainty. It’s up to everyone who talks about research to consider describing both the process and the outcomes of the work — even in a 20-second sound bite with no long words."

Nature - Uncertainty is a core tenet of science — researchers should be supported so they can communicate it with confidence to the public.

"In the end, the purpose to everything in a figure...is to make things clearer for the audience. As such, the main question for scientists when designing figures is simple: 'Does my decision help my message?'" https://t.co/BsLmQlkp5C

Effective scientific figures incorporate artistic principles, using color, layout, and other visual elements to help clarify the message.
