✨Do you already know Scimago Graphica?

I consistently incorporate this tool into my workshops, and I can tell you it’s a powerful platform that allows you to create all kinds of visualizations. It’s very easy to use, freely accessible, and quite intuitive.

I invite you to read my article on Medium about this tool
