About the author

My name is Martins Zaumanis and I am obsessed with finding ways to communicate science visually. For example, during the last half a year of my Ph.D., I spent almost every evening hand-drawing my research just so that I could present a memorable TEDx talk. But I don't expect you to become obsessed. Quite the opposite: I developed an approach that will allow you to create great data charts and scientific illustrations without taking away time from what you love most - research
