Throughout my PhD GRTS presentation, I presented my PhD drawings (in the previous blog post) in order to visually explain what I was talking about. I explained that I was playing with clichés in the drawings, but asked the audience to feel free to draw their own sketches and versions of symbols throughout the talk. I did this in order to see if the audience thought that having visual aids and using drawing as a tool helps us with understanding theory and/or if we could come up with any new symbols together.
