sent this to my sister who is doing her phd at uc davis and she has forwarded it to a big list of her fellow researchers/sci comm writers. this is super cool, good luck with it 💜

Thank you so much!!

Main goals of this project are to get upper-level art & design students interacting with real scientists, real raw data references, and developing visual vocabulary for current science. They will get unique portfolio pieces. You will get a comic to share your research. 🤝

I love all of this so much - I can share through some of our comms channels to the researchers at my hospital, too, if you like.

That would be awesome, thank you!

Please sign up by February 1st. Open to all science and engineering fields. Grad students, postdocs, faculty, and staff are welcome.

calling @philplait.bsky.social for amplification!

That's clever! I'm not a scientist but I've forwarded this to some. Good luck!

Thanks for spreading the word!

I pitched a STEAM story on incorporating comics into natural history lessons and it fell on deaf ears. But a comic on creating comics is meta. https://www.nps.gov/cabr/learn/education/conservation-comics.htm

Yes please - we love science comms! - diverse international group working on hepatitis B with community co-design as an integral feature. Can we get involved?

I love this idea! Hope you have lots of interest so students can find projects they are interested in.

hudrewthis.bsky.social•417 days ago

Thank you! I also hope every student can get their top one or two choice in project. Very grateful for how the scientific community has shown up already. 😎

lol, sent this to @vancityflyguy.bsky.social and he was like hey I know her! Grad school! Small world 😃

vancityflyguy.bsky.social•417 days ago

Small world and such an awesome project @hudrewthis.bsky.social!! Love this idea ☺️

hudrewthis.bsky.social•417 days ago

Whaaat how cool! I wish I could DM you on here. 😅

ABurnham at Towson dot edu puts you in touch with me, and from there I can put you in touch with Ethan if you want!

hudrewthis.bsky.social•417 days ago

I was curious who he was because I have a couple old classmates working with flies now, but I finally pieced it together. Hey Ethan!! How cool to reconnect after a decade!
