Effective visual illustrations are essential to understand, model, interpret and teach scientific results. Illustrations allow experts to get a quick overview, or help non-experts to visualize sometimes complicated or abstract concepts.
I created this blog as a forum to discuss the role of art and illustration today in communicating science. Whether you’re an artist, scientist, or consider yourself both or neither, I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments here or in an email to ScienceOnTheRetina at gmail.com.
Stay tuned for both illustrations I create and those I find in the world of science.
