Consult AVL for engaging scientific visuals
Explaining something complicated is easier when there’s a visual, but if it’s too complex or unengaging, no one is going to get anything out of it. A consultation with the Advanced Visualization Lab (AVL) will solve the problem.
AVL can help you make your scientific visuals interactive in an easily accessible online environment. For example, check out this lightning visualization.
