DrawImpacts

Hello #PortfolioDay 💙! I am Emma, artist, illustrator, graphic, web designer, and founder of @DrawImpacts! I am passionate about science and love to create unique illustrations of novel research and scientific discoveries! #sciart ✨drawimpacts.com

Brief → Sketch → @Nature Cover!! Every journal cover starts with understanding the science. Here's how we transformed the original concept into the final published Nature cover for #GustavoStarvaggiFrança and @ItaiYanai nature.com/nature/volumes… #ScienceCommunication #ScientificIllustration #Nature

@Chaturvedi_Lab Great news and well deserved! Congratulations!

Huge news from the lab! I’m thrilled and honored to share that the Chaturvedi lab has received the NIH R35 award. This support will accelerate our work at the intersection of experimental biology and machine learning. (1/4)

@pashtoonkasi @OncoAlert @PanCAN @ShaalanBeg @MPishvaian @EileenMOReilly @oncodaily @mtmdphd @cityofhope @marklewismd @OncBrothers Exciting to see this moving forward! It was a pleasure helping visualize the science behind this work. Looking forward to seeing how the Phase 3 study unfolds and the impact it could have for patients with KRAS-mutant pancreatic cancer 🌟

@sanamloghavi @LeukemiaJnl @lindemilesphd @AkEisfeld @Daver_Leukemia @TapKadia Congratulations, Sanam and team!!

Just out in @LeukemiaJnl 📣 With all hype around #RAS , We thought it’d be cool to characterize BRAF mutations in AML… led by the best collaborators in the business @lindemilesphd @AkEisfeld & teams shorturl.at/Psx9g

From PowerPoint slide → sketch → journal cover @green_rsc This project for the #TessonnierGroup is a great example of why I enjoy scientific storytelling. The challenge wasn't just to illustrate the chemistry, it was to create a visual journey through the science. Starting from the original slide, we explored different concepts through sketches before building the final 3D cover illustration. Swipe through to see how the idea evolved along the way. One of my favorite parts of this work is watching a scientific concept transform into a visual story. #SciComm #ScientificVisualization #JournalCover #SciArt #SciComm #ScientificVisualization

@KellyLBolton @beatalleukemia @madanatyazan @OSUCCC_James @OSUWexMed Congratulations!! Great achievement!

@beatalleukemia @madanatyazan @OSUCCC_James @OSUWexMed Congrats Uma!!!

Excited & grateful for my promotion to full Professor @OSUCCC_James @OSUWexMed . Immense gratitude to family, friends & mentors across the 🌍 from 🇮🇳 to 🇺🇸 .Throwback 📷 from my fellowship graduation > decade ago & today showing my clonal evolution with acquisition of wrinkles ? wisdom( & probably CH mutations).

@RobertoZoncu @clairegoul @aakritijain24 Congratulations! Great work!

Excited to share our new paper: 'LASER couples damage sensing to ESCRT assembly for lysosome repair.' Congrats to dream team @clairegoul and @aakritijain24 for uncovering a new lysosome repair pathway and its connection to neurodegeneration. bit.ly/49FCPoq

@sgqcheng @CellCellPress All the best in this new position!

I'm starting a new role as Scientific Editor at @CellCellPress today. I look forward to reading the exciting advances emerging across computational biology and AI. 📨 Please feel free to get in touch at qcheng@cell.com. #Cell #AI4Science #ComputationalBiology #MachineLearning

@IamLinghua @ScienceMagazine Congratulations!!

1/ Thrilled to share our new paper, out today in @ScienceMagazine! We built a pan-cancer spatial atlas of tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) and developed computation and AI frameworks to study TLS biology at scale. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

“Why is my figure misunderstood?” 🔬 Because figures don’t just communicate data, they communicate hierarchy, interpretation, and story. A figure can be scientifically correct and still confusing if: • the key takeaway isn’t obvious • too many things compete for attention • the visual flow is unclear Scientists spend months refining experiments… and sometimes only hours refining the figure. Yet it’s often the first thing people look at. Curious, what’s the hardest part for you when making a figure? The colors? The story? Knowing what to highlight? #SciComm #AcademicTwitter #DataViz #ScientificIllustration

@PapapetrouMDPhD @CellCellPress @ChrisAWalsh1 @NatureAging Congratulations Eirini!

Our recent @CellCellPress study with @ChrisAWalsh1 lab on somatic mutations in microglia of AD brains highlighted in @NatureAging nature.com/articles/s4358…

@DrawImpacts thanks Emma @DrawImpacts ! always great to work with you.

Fascinating work on how MDS mutant cells reshape their local immune environment through TGFβ signaling and promote clonal expansion. Proud to see our illustration accompanying the study 🧬

@AbdelWahablab Honored to contribute the artwork for this story 🧬 Congratulations to everyone involved!!

We identify a mechanism for clonal expansion of MDS through local immunosuppressive effects of MDS mutant cells through secretion of TGFb, as well as cell intrinsic effects as mutant cells themselves have dampened recognition of TGFb (gorgeous art by @DrawImpacts):

Excited to present the first pre-print from our group, an investigation the human bone marrow microenvironments in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and normal age-matched subjects using Xenium genotype-informed spatial transcriptomics: biorxiv.org/content/10.648…

Love seeing the logo we designed show up alongside exciting science like this 😊 Big congrats, Reeshi, on the flash talk! Always special seeing the lab’s work and identity come to life together.

@JuyeunLee31 @Nature Congratulations!!

We’re very excited to share our paper just published in @Nature nature.com/articles/s4158…

Loved working on this illustration! Huge congrats to everyone involved 👏 Excited to see it out in the world!

@sanamloghavi @CLachowiez @GMontalbanBravo @BCD_AACR @_TanyaBondar_ So special to be part of this one. Huge congratulations to the whole team 👏 Beautiful science, and such a pleasure to help bring it to life visually!

How lucky are we to have both @CLachowiez and @GMontalbanBravo ‘s papers out in this issue of @BCD_AACR today 😍😍… 🙏🏻 to @_TanyaBondar_ for the guidance & opportunity  & to @DrawImpacts for the beautiful cover art. 🖼️ Check them out if you haven’t already.. we hope you enjoy reading them   aacrjournals.org/bloodcancerdis…  aacrjournals.org/bloodcancerdis…

@DrawImpacts @Nature It was fantastic to work with you on this Emma!!

@ItaiYanai @Nature Likewise! really enjoyed working together on this. Such a great project ✨

We designed the cover for this week’s @Nature ✨ Cellular learning: how cancer cells explore and stabilize gene-regulatory states to survive stress. For the visual, we leaned into abstraction, circles, overlap, and rhythm, inspired by the French Orphism art movement. Still a bit surreal to see it out! Congrats to the team 👏 @ItaiYanai & #GustavoStarvaggiFrança nature.com/nature/volumes… #Nature #CancerResearch #SciComm #Biotech
