Research findings in biomedical science are often summarized in statistical plots and sophisticated data presentations. Such visualizations are challenging for people who lack the appropriate scientific background or even experts who work in other areas. Scientists have to maximize knowledge dissemination by improving the communication of their findings to the public. To address the need for compelling and successful infographics in biomedical science, we propose a new theoretical framework for Visual Storytelling and illustrate its potential application through two visual stories, one on vaccine safety and one on cancer immunotherapy. In both examples, we rely on solid data and combine multiple media (photographs, illustrations, choropleth maps, tables, graphs, and charts) with text to create powerful visual stories for the selected target audiences. If fully validated, the proposed theory may shed light into non-traditional techniques for building visual stories and further the agenda of creating compelling information visualizations.

视觉叙事可增强生物医学科学中的知识传播。

生物医学领域的研究成果通常以统计图和复杂的数据表示形式进行总结。对于缺乏适当科学背景的人甚至在其他领域工作的专家来说，这种可视化都是一个挑战。科学家必须通过改善其发现与公众的交流来最大程度地传播知识。为了满足生物医学中引人入胜且成功的信息图表的需求，我们提出了视觉叙事的新理论框架，并通过两个视觉故事来说明其潜在的应用，一个关于疫苗安全性，一个关于癌症免疫疗法。在这两个示例中，我们都依赖可靠的数据，并结合了多种媒体（照片，插图，总管图，表格，图表，和图表），并为选定的目标受众创建强大的视觉故事。如果得到充分验证，则所提出的理论可能会为建立视觉故事的非传统技术提供启发，并进一步推动创建引人注目的信息可视化的议程。
