Title: Introduction to Graphics with Stata (60-120 minutes)
Abstract: This talk introduces the basics of using Stata graphics to explore your data, check the assumptions of your models, and present your results. I will demonstrate how to use -margins- and -marginsplot- to visualize the results of complex models. You will also learn how to  customize the appearance of your graphs using graph schemes, formating options, and how to layer and combine graphs.
 
Title: Creating Maps and Animated Maps with Stata (60 minutes)
Abstract: This talk will demonstrate how to create maps and animated maps using the community-contributed grmap command. We will introduce shapefiles, learn how to find them, and show how to merge them with other datasets such as the Johns Hopkins COVID-19 dataset. Along the way, we will review data management tools such as local macros, loops, and merging files. No prior experience with mapping is necessary.
