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.
