For me #science #communication means “Making ideas visible”. With my illustrations I hope to spark #curiosity in #science among the general public and especially the young generations!
Check out the latest Discover ASAP episode with @doroteaartscience.bsky.social, a member of CRN Team Hurley, who is making science beautiful and accessible. From mitophagy to #PD research, her work shows how #OpenScience thrives with clear, creative communication.
