(slightly edited to fit the word limit, and posted as a way to reference it for future use) Thanks Matteo, you are a master of the pen and ink, for cartoon and words as well. Read it all here between-science-and-art.com/matteo-farinel…

Here, the art doesn’t add much information (it may even distort the science) but hopefully,it gets our audience more excited about science. Sometimes making science more accessible may mean simply making it less pedantic,so people are willing to engage with it in the first place.

@matteofarinella 💎on accessibility Accessibility is a more nuanced concept because it all depends on WHO we want to make it accessible for. Rarely is there one solution that works for everybody. A common refrain amongst science communicators is to “think about your audience”.

Cool to see some flies illustrations that I prepared for @crezaval having fun on this Nature paper. Great work by her team!

Sex or survival—what’s more important? Excited to share our @Nature paper on how flies resolve this conflict. We found a dopamine-based filter that reduces threat perception, helping flies focus on courtship when close to mating. #citeas" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">nature.com/articles/s4158…

every day I am more and more astounded by the fucking shitshow of a publishing system that academics willingly continue to hold up. paying money to give copyright for an image that you often paid money to create, to publishers with cartoonish profit margins. utterly deranged

@KordingLab @GilCostaDesign has made amazing neuroscience covers and graphics, while @joana_gcc does it all and helped us make an absolute blast of a figure that essentially got the paper to be #1 Altmetrics for Current Opinion in Cell Biology ever.

For a grant proposal I need to bring in a professional (neuro)science illustrator. Basically need to make 10 really awesome infographics. How do people usually find illustrators?
