Description
Summary:The work of Extension professionals is often to translate complex research findings into practical recommendations. One of the tools used for communicating with Extension audiences is visual representation of data. These visualizations include graphs, charts, and data overlaid onto maps.

This 6-page fact sheet summarizes research in science communication and education that offers strategic ways for communicators to revise data visualizations for broad meaning-making.
