Infographics Examples
Below are examples of infographic projects created by students participating in the ASPIRATION program.
From one original scientific research article, each student group creates:
A one-page general-public summary infographic (8.5x11, portrait orientation) designed for patients, students, families, and anyone interested in learning more about science and biomedical research.
A four-page simplified primary scientific literature infographic (8.5 × 11, portrait orientation; up to four pages) designed for students and other readers as a first step toward reading original scientific literature. The infographic adapts primary research articles into a more accessible format while preserving the major scientific concepts, methods, findings, and conclusions.
