At @eseb2025.bsky.social please go and visit the art corner organised by @evokeproject.bsky.social (6th Eseb art&sci corner!:)) It’s in the far back-right of the poster area. You don’t have to be an artist! No prior art knowledge required ;) just go there & draw/paint whatever portrays your science!
