In this workshop we will learn how to create professional looking figures with custom themes and packages built specifically for scientific data visualization, arrange multiple graphs into a single figure, and best practices for exporting your figures to maximize resolution and keep figure text editable. We will also learn to add annotations such as p-values for statistical significance, or regression lines with confidence bands to graphs.
