Visualizing Science! I'm holding a series of free, online workshops, thanks to Johns Hopkins University. All are welcome! I plan to have fun with Danielle VanBrabant, Damond Kyllo, and Amey Zhang to introduce visualization topics and challenges. No art experience is necessary.

I want to design a lecture on misconceptions in biology. What is the most imprecise/dubious term/concept in biology? I already have 2: multicellularity and gene function Help me build the list.

@Mari_SciArt @Nirmalrob @CCB_Research That looks amazing! 🤩 May I ask what kind of software you use to generate such a video?

Never stop crafting tools that communicate science!✨ Watch Gaby Thiery's video abstract, which makes scientific information more accessible and understandable. Thanks, @Nirmalrob at the @CCB_Research, for team up with us🧠🎨 #scientificcommunication #scientificillustrations

@laura_canil Thanks for sharing your experience! I can imagine, it looks very elaborate! But fun!!

@KapteijnRenee Thank you! Yeah it took me a few months of practicing and doing courses to feel like I was starting to be decent with it. And there's still so much to learn, it's a very powerful tool!

Today, 1 year ago, I officially launched my website canilvisuals.com and started to work as #ScientificIllustrator 👩🏻‍🔬🎨 1 year of encountering extremely interesting projects and scientists. A big thank you to everybody who trusted me! I'm excited for what's to come!✨

@laura_canil Thanks! I downloaded the program at one point.. and got so lost! It really requires a lot of time and effort to get the hang of it i guess! Goodluck with your illustrations 🤩

@KapteijnRenee Thank you! For 3d I use blender :) sometimes adjusted with photoshop.

@MECrooijmans Do you have the machine yet? 🤩

The greatest and only perk of working late is having total control over the lab radio 🎶 #karaoke #phdlife
