Napkin Science

Posted on 3rd January 2012

Dr Will Stahl-Timmins from the European Centre for Environment & Human Health has been recognised by the Information is Beautiful Awards for a recent information graphic he designed.

Dr Stahl-Timmins’ artwork illustrates the relative amounts of resources left on earth and began life as a rough, ‘napkin’ sketch.

Dr Stahl-Timmins has a strong interest in the visual presentation of data. His recent research focuses on the use of information graphics to explain the effects of climate change on health, visually presenting non-linear narratives. He also creates information graphics that present numerical data visually. He regularly updates his design blog which can be found here.
