Fission and Fusion are both nuclear reactions that release energy but they aren't the same. One happens in the sun and one usually happens on Earth in nuclear power plants.

It's difficult to picture how big some animals in the ocean are. Especially fish! This is a graphic showing the size of the largest sunfish ever found.

Created this for Newsela

At the start of the pandemic, Newsela published articles relating to social distancing and health. I created this graphic to show that cloth masks, while not as effective as N95s, still offered protection against contaminated aerosols.

I worked on this figure with Dr. Bowles at the University of Berkeley, California, who is always fantastic to work with. I had a lot of fun illustration directly on top of these graphs.

I created these carbon macromolecules for Scientific American several years ago (and am just getting around to posting now 🤣 )

The fullerenes (the buckyballs, C70 and C60) were extremely fun to map out and render.

I created this figure for Dr. Jilling at the University of South Carolina to show how mineral associated organic matter (MAOM) can sequester carbon and nutrients in soil. Had a great time working on this figure with Dr. Jilling and learned so many cool things!

Was so thrilled to receive a copy of Bay Nature Spring 2026 issue and see my illustration in it. I created a close up of the Dodder plant and pickleweed interaction for the article "Sensing is Becoming" by Jules Litman-Cleper
