Conflicts of Interest Taint Medical Studies | LiveScience

While it's a good thing that the conflicts were disclosed, the review also found conflicts affect the research outcomes. The results, announced today, will be published June 15 in the journal Cancer.

I have been asked to give a brownbag seminar on using visuals to communicate science at the International Research Institute for Climate and Society. Should make for an interesting discussion. As I go about researching the talk, I'm sure I'll find some excellent resources on information graphics, visual communication and design, which I'll post on my tumblr site Communicating Science.
