Who we are!
At Visualize your Science we are dedicated to improving the way research is being communicated by the scientific academic community. Coming from academia, we are aware of the important research conducted by Ph.D. students around the world, and we want to make sure that your hard work gets the attention it deserves. We are committed to giving you - the students - the best learning experience by:
What we do!
Ph.D. courses
The goal of our courses is to teach researchers skills in design and illustration that will make you comfortable creating journal covers, posters, and presentations in an effective manner. Our courses are tailored towards Ph.D. students, but anyone is welcome to join, even if you don't need the credits.

Workshops
Our workshops will give you a taste of what is taught in our certified Ph.D. courses. Here you will learn the fundamentals of good design and how to avoid common pitfalls in science communication. We offer adaptable workshops that run over a couple of hours or span multiple days, you decide the depth of the knowledge that you require.
Commissioned illustrations
Time is a valuable and limited resource and sometimes there simply isn't enough of it to sit down and learn how to create beautiful images yourself.
The solution? Let us do it for you! With backgrounds in natural science, our team is expertly suited to translate your research into beautiful visuals for your next cover submission or grant application.

Andreas Dahlin
Founder
Education: Jönköping University; University of Huddersfield; Uppsala University
Andreas has experience both from the industry and academia, having worked in pharma for three years and becoming Assoc. Prof. at Uppsala University in 2017. During his time at Uppsala, Andreas got known as the go-to guy for illustrations, and started the Visualize Your Science course in 2011 due to popular demand. As interest in the course grew, Andreas saw an opportunity to teach full time, and left academia in 2016 to start his own company. Andreas is the resident expert in Blender and Affinity Designer.
