Current reading is a very good comic about neuroscience and the 'social' nature of our brains. #GraphicScience #Neuroscience

Cells at Work (Code Black, 3, 13) never ceases to amaze me with its imaginative representations of the body. Here, red blood cells in the kidney enter a nephron to get hosed down by glomeruli. #GraphicScience #SciCom #Comics

Yay! Everyone reads this now 👇

"scientific papers are kind of an awful medium. They’re incomprehensible. It’s kind of a secret form of gatekeeping."

Thanks, Kanaka Rajan for championing comics, as a more accessible #scicomm format!

A very good little intro to what is known as SciArt, the merging and collaboration of science and the visual arts. #GraphicScience https://www.emergingcreativesofscience.com/post/what-is-sciart

Our brain tumour lab flow comic is up. Requested by Brain Tmour Support, so lovely to see it on their website. This is the first science comic I’ve been involved in, and I’m very excited by the ones to come next. We decided to keep it formally simple to not distract from the information. I think it works. I hope patients find it helpful. #ScieceCommunication #GraphicScience #comics https://www.braintumoursupport.org.nz/obtaining-a-diagnosis

Hello everyone
Just noticed it’s my 1st anniversary on Mastodon. There doesn’t seem to be much to celebrate at the moment, but Mastodon is a reminder humans are good, curious, intelligent, witty, creative, supportive and on the whole very lovely.
Thanks for being here.
If anyone wants to say hello, I’m a media professor interested in #comics and #GraphicScience and #GraphicMedicine in particular. I’m currently writing a book on comics and #communication. Glad I found this place. 🙏🏼

If you liked #Oppenheimer you’ll probably love this. A detailed history of the atomic bomb by Didier Alicante, LF Bollee and Denis Rodier, including many more voice and perspectives than the film. #comics #GraphicScience

"I really believe strongly that science comics are best when there is not just a little narrative, but a strong narrative, like where the science isn't necessarily the sole focus of what I'm doing."

💯 agree!

Towards the end of the 19C Santiago Ramón y Cajal made major advances in neuroscience and left incredible drawings of neurons and other brain cells and tissue. This is why science is never separate from art. #ScienceCommunication #GraphicScience

Learning about the brain from a comic by Tory Woollcott and Alex Graudins. #GraphicScience

This is a great comic about the hidden histories and the wonders of scientific discovery. It is both a wonderful piece of #GraphicScience and a piece of #GraphicWitness. Add it to your list of #ScienceCommunication.

I can't be the only person on here tooting #GraphicScience?

Supplementary #introduction

I’m currently writing a book called Comics and Communication for the University Press of Mississippi. The subtitle is Graphic Storytelling from Activism to Science. It focuses on #GraphicScience #GraphicMedicine #GraphicJustice & what I think I’ll call #GraphicWitness (a combination of comics journalism & historical comics). I’m also looking to develop a funded project translating a variety of academic work at the University of Auckland into the medium of #comics.

An excellent piece by Matteo Farinella on using comics for science communication. #GraphicScience https://matteofarinella.com/Comics/Of-Microscopes-and-Metaphors
