Short description This practical course directly leverages your hobby to teach other scientists (or aspiring ones) how to effectively use sketchnoting and visual note-taking to process, synthesize, and remember complex technical information from lectures, papers, and meetings. While applicable broadly, examples will be drawn from hydrogeology and hydrochemistry. Key Topics The “why” of visual note-taking: Cognitive benefits for learning and recall. Basic elements of sketchnoting: Icons, connectors, typography, containers. Strategies for capturing key concepts quickly and efficiently. Transforming text-heavy information into visual summaries. Applying sketchnoting to scientific papers, conference presentations, and technical discussions. Tools and materials for digital and analog sketchnoting. Practical Component Hands-on practice with live (or recorded) short lectures/articles on hydrochemical topics, group exercises in visual synthesis, and sharing/critique of sketchnotes.
