Natural Sciences 191CNS62 - FYS-Science Cat/Dank Memes

Bad Luck Brian, Dat Boi, and Philosoraptor are all popular fun social media memes, and when we are mindlessly scrolling on social media information is being transferred from the page to our brains. This passive form of communication can be helpful or harmful, so how do we determine fact from fake? Ain't nobody got time for that! Additionally, as scientists how can we use memes to talk about plant biology, physical chemistry, or astronomy? This course focuses on how we use images to convey information and scientific ideas in a visually attractive and informative way, with practice in creating memes and infographics that tell a story.

Open to students in the CNS Connect RAP program in Cance only.
