Alright, gonna try sharing some of my visual strategies + tips for visually communicating science on a more regular basis.
🧵 Let's start off with figure labelling. And let's use this image from a paper I just read as an example:
The labelling, however, is a serious impediment to the eye. Subconsciously, our brains are trying to break this down + are taxed with making sense of this info🧠⚡️

After a successful weekend with Biomass again, I figured I'd share a bit about its inception 🧵⬇️
Good morning followers, new and not-new! After the flux of newcomers this weekend, I thought I’d introduce a little bit more about me + my journey so far to becoming a scientific/data illustrator. Read within! ⬇️🧵🪞🔬👨🏻🎓 #bio#aboutme#art#artist#scientificillustration#sciart
My name's Mark and I am super passionate about telling science stories with the power of visual media🎨 I love illustration, I learn best with visuals, and I am constantly looking for (er, doodling?) ways to make pictures say MORE than just "a thousand words” 😉

Dive-in for a peek at my #process and #designthinking on how I made my latest science infographic: "Comparing How COVID-19 Vaccines and Antiviral Pills Work" ⬇️🧵#COVID#Pfizer#Merck#DIY#infographic#vaccines#WIP#development#Covid_19#paxlovid
The original inspiration for this piece was the newly marketed antiviral pills by Pfizer and Merck for the treatment of COVID-19. I thought with hearing so much about vaccines this year, and with pills entering the arena, people might be curious about what each does in the body.
