For years I've used visual metaphors without truly understanding how they work. After months of exploration, I think I've gained a better sense of what makes a good metaphor and why they're crucial for communicating complex ideas. #scicomm

How do you tell the story of a database?
First, reveal why this data matters for both scientists and the public, and second, bring it to life through beautiful animation!

👀 Excited to share my very first interview about my work as a designer in science communication! I had a great conversation with @fromthelabbench.bsky.social we talked about the role of beauty, the importance of naivety and the power of metaphors. ↓
My inaugural blog post for “SciComm with Style,” a blog on scicommlexicon.com!
An interview with science designer Louis Charron and a discussion on why beauty, metaphors, and scientists collaborating with creatives matter.

🌱 New work: how to brand environmental justice in tech?
I had so much fun working with the team at Rooted Futures Lab on creating their new visual identity combining AI schematics with vintage botanical imagery, blending tech aesthetics with grainy organic textures

How do we create symbols that represent science? As a designer working with scientists, I keep bumping into this question. So I decided to dive in and write about it.

Consensus aligns our brains
To find out what happens in our brains when we come to consensus, we designed an experiment, and we discovered something remarkable. This video is based on a research paper: Consensus-building conversation leads to neural alignment, published in Nature Communications in 2024 Researchers: Beau Sievers, Christopher Welker, Uri Hasson, Adam M. Kleinbaum, Thalia Wheatley Video production: Louis Charron, Janès Zabukovec, Thomas Deis, Beau Sievers © Consortium for Interacting Minds, Dartmouth, 2024

After more than a year using Midjourney I noticed that the images generated are becoming more similar and less surprising. So I wrote a few words on how the mystery and the poetry of the early AI images disappeared.

The case for AI hallucination
AI image generators can produce anything, so why should they produce photorealistic images by default?
