Looking forward to working as a part of this team too! With more and more journals featuring graphical abstracts and research slowly becoming more accessible thanks to social media, I think developing strong visual resources to share our research and inform other researchers as well as the public is so valuable. Scientific communication, both verbal and visual, is a skill we’re not classically trained for but something we really need to prioritize to advance our field.

This looks great! One thought since you mentioned images as well. We could have some crossover with the Data Modality & Methodology Task Force, for a “graphical abstract” style figure for the homepage/README of a GitHub repo, or images for a web book such as the open science guide (we definitely talked about the benefit of potentially adding more figures to the web book) or the 2025 project turning the data wrangling guide into a book format.
