Communicating scientific frameworks

Project name: A 10 minute introduction to QMRA
Type: Online tool for communicating scientific framework
Year: 2021

I had the opportunity of being part of risk assessment that used the Quantitative Microbial Risk Assessment (QMRA) framework. As the name already shows, the desire for academic precision creates usability difficulties by non academic.

QMRA

Considering that some very interesting tools exist such as Idyll and curve note that try provide more interactive ways of engaging with the readers, we have set up a 10 minutes explanation of the QMRA framework using Idyll. It is still a draft but maybe is able to communicate the core idea behind the framework. If you have 10 minutes, take a look. The idea behind the presentation is to give a preliminary understanding of the QMRA process to stakeholders that do not have a technical background.

Along these ideas it is very interesting to read about the idea of the active reader as Bret Victor defines it.
