Our Take

Canva is useful for turning research findings into clear posters, conference slides, and visual summaries without starting from a blank page. Its templates and AI-assisted design tools can speed up layout and help keep a presentation visually consistent.

The main strength is visual communication, not scholarly verification or advanced scientific figure production. Generated layouts and visuals may look polished while still misrepresenting a result or making a chart hard to interpret.

Use it after the research content is settled: check every number, label, source, image license, and accessibility detail, and make sure charts accurately represent the underlying data before sharing or submitting the design.
