On three Fridays, Feb. 2, 9, & 16, 2018, CALC|UM + CSIE|UM hosted a workshop series, taught by Ren Wiscons, introducing UM Chemistry graduate students and post-docs to fundamental tools in Adobe Illustrator.

The first of the three-part series was geared towards equipping students with the initial experience necessary to use Adobe Illustrator for the preparation of diagrams, figures, and posters.

The second Adobe Illustrator Workshop, Preparing Figures for Publication, was offered on Feb. 9th and was focused on importing various file types into Illustrator to prepare and combine figures in a common program.

The final workshop, Visually Communicating Scientific Concepts, was offered on Feb. 16th. As part of this workshop, attendees worked with Ren to convert ideas from their own research topics into diagrams for presentations, posters, and publications.
