So proud of how far BioRender has come thanks to our incredible team. We launched 3 years ago w/ just a handful of icons and today we save scientists >1 million hrs every month (time otherwise spent in PPT) 🙏🏽 I hope this helps you in your next project! 💙biorender.com

Presentation design tip: 🎨 An oldie but a goodie.. choose 'sans serif' (non-decorative) fonts for slides. Serif (decorative) fonts are best used for larger bodies of text in print form (that's why a lot of novels are still printed in Times New Roman-like fonts) 📚 #scicomm

Design tip for presentations: 🎨 When repurposing journal figures into presentations, break apart complex panels/figures. Remember that you sharing 'full screen' doesn't mean full screen for others..🖥️💻 (our faces can take up real estate, monitor sizing, etc) #visualscicomm

This seems like an absurdly bad idea.... 😱 In the process of 'building herd immunity', a large number of high risk individuals (older people and those with underlying conditions) will die. #COVID19 theguardian.com/world/2020/m…
