Working with @k-polly.bsky.social generated a fabulous illustration about summer research experiences — and — H/T to Jack, his perspective as a narrative artist helped me to think more deeply about the scientific story I sought to communicate.
From lab bench to panels! 🎨🧪
I designed this 7-panel illustration for a PLOS Computational Biology project.
Excited to collaborate with @wormsense.bsky.social and bring this scientific story to life visually.
