We look forward to seeing you there!</p><h3>Storytelling with Data</h3><p>In this digital era, we are constantly overloaded by information and data. It has been even more true over the past year, when daily figures of the pandemic were everywhere, all the time. As a data journalist, Anna Lombardi tries to bring meaning to all these numbers and to complex statistics, shaping them into stories and bringing their human side to life. In this brief talk Anna will tell you a bit more about her job. She will discuss why a good data visualisation can sometimes be worth a thousand words, why and how people can be easily misled by numbers and why she believes data literacy is one of the best pieces of equipment to navigate our times. </p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/anlombardi/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Anna Lombardi</a> is  a data and interactive journalist at The Times and Sunday Times in London, specialising in visual journalism and finding stories in data.</p><p>She holds a PhD in experimental physics from the University of Lyon (France). Her doctoral thesis was awarded the &quot;Prix Jeunes Chercheurs Saint Gobain&quot; by the French Society of Physics (SFP) in 2014. She has spent three years as a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Cambridge, working across the domains of nano-optics, spectroscopy and plasmonics in the NanoPhotonics group led by Prof Jeremy Baumberg. While in Cambridge, Anna also joined the i-Teams competition to commercialise new technologies developed within the university and attended the EnterpriseWISE course aimed at unlocking the entrepreneurial potential of participants for long-term career enhancement. </p><p>In 2018, just before joining the Times, She completed a two-year Master in Science Communication at the International School for Advanced Studies in Trieste (Italy). While representing a turning point in her career, this course first introduced Anna to the field of data journalism which has reconciled her love for data and scientific thinking with her creativity and passion for social causes.</p><p></p><h3>More information on the topic of this session to follow...</h3><p></p><p><strong>Advice on this session</strong></p><p>On joining the call, feel free to edit your name to say not just who you are but what you do i.e. Jane, architect | Susan, biotech entrepreneur etc. </p><p>This is an active workshop.
