I was so pleased JC brought me in on this project.
If you write or are a journalist or do any kind of storytelling (science or not) I highly recommend checking this out. There is so much in the about mechanics and risk/benefits of how you connect to audiences.

We’ve now produced a toolkit to guide science communicators through (critically) using certain strategies. It has been beautifully illustrated by @jordancollver.bsky.social (in collab with @rikworth.bsky.social) and can be downloaded as a PDF here:

A wooden Organoid Holiday Decoration held up by a hand from its bottom left corner. The decoration has been printed from a painting of a kidney organoid, worked into with elements of an oil rig - particularly cranes make the organoid spiky - and platforms, windows.

Working on some castle pictures for my next project and I can't escape the feeling that this drawing in progress of Chepstow Castle looks like Sid, the sloth from Ice Age! 🤣

My linocut prints on cream coloured washi paper, drying on a tabletop. 6 are visible. Each shows a bunch of white blueberry flowers and leaves printed in pale green with hints of red on buds and a blue orchard mason bees on the lowest flower.

Eye of the Atolla 👁 based on the Atolla Jellyfish! #MarineLife This is a limited edition pin available right now for a short time and small quantities!

I always imagined some jellies had grabby hands and atollas looks like space ships so this was a perfect chance to design that 😂
