This example illustrates the continuous communication of results throughout the lifespan of a research project. Professor Lymer updated stakeholders yearly with a snapshot of the key findings using 4-page infographics. The target audience quickly absorbed what was going on without having to process a lot of information. The format also helped them navigate to the parts that were more useful for them, and identify what they wanted more information on.
