An interactive session on elements and principles of poster design. Additionally, we'll be looking at different formats and the reasons you might chose one or the other, from the standard paper-on-a-page to emerging formats including visual abstracts that focus on networking or quickly spreading ideas. This session will focus on design strategies for scientific conference posters, but these strategies are applicable for other disciplines as well.

You have a presentation coming up. You’ve dusted up your talking points and rehearsed what you’re going to say. But you’re concerned about the visual aid for your presentation—does it look good? Will it convey your message? Maybe it’s a slide deck. Maybe it’s a poster. Maybe it’s a physical object, or writing on a whiteboard. Maybe you haven’t even decided if you’re going to have a visual aid at all.

This workshop moves beyond the basics of Zotero. In this workshop you will learn to...

Podcasts can be a way of engaging public audiences with your research interests. During this workshop, we’ll help you to conceptualize podcasting as a form of public scholarship, and walk through the process of starting a podcast. After this orientation, you will know:

Join Tisch Special Collections and the Tufts University Chaplaincy for a presentation of medieval music for the season of Advent during services on Sunday, December 8th in Goddard Chapel!

Our Manuscript 27 is a late 14th century Italian antiphonal, a choir book designed for the singing of monastic prayers - in this case, chants for the first Sunday of Advent through Epiphany.

At the 5:00 PM Catholic Mass and the 7:00 PM Protestant Worship, members of the Tufts community will sing selections from this manuscript.

Play laser tag in Tisch and enjoy Shake Shack, t-shirts, inflatable games and more thanks to TUSC!

Join us for snacks and a relaxing, playful exploration of Adobe Illustrator. Illustrator is a vector-based 2D design program used for graphic design, typesetting, and (unsurprisingly) illustration, but it’s not a typical “drawing” program like you might be familiar with if you’ve used Photoshop or ProCreate. This event will help you understand how to start developing a visual language by experimenting with shape, color, and scale with a focus on exploration and process more than product. There is no previous experience with Illustrator required.

Come hang out in the DDS and explore objects close-up with our 200x macro smartphone lens and unconventional microphones.  Low stake prompts and reflections will help encourage curiosity for seeing and listening in different ways. Light snacks will be available. Feel free to bring your objects to listen or look at!
