The British library are hosting a free exhibition on the presentation of data in science, and how to make beautiful infographics.
They're hosting a load of cool events and talks to go alongside the event. Most of these have unfortunately already sold out, but there are still some cool ones going.
You can find out more about the exhibition at their website: http://www.bl.uk/whatson/exhibitions/beautiful-science/index.html
Turning numbers into pictures that tell important stories and reveal the meaning held within is an essential part of what it means to be a scientist. This is as true in today's era of genome sequencing and climate models as it was in the 19th century.
Beautiful Science explores how our understanding of ourselves and our planet has evolved alongside our ability to represent, graph and map the mass data of the time.
