In this blog post for the Association of Science Communicators, I make my argument for why science communication needs visuals, and why I think it's not something we should delegate to machines (even if we could) 🤖

Special thanks to Cord (Mario Lopez) who helped me make the point, in my favorite format: witty, human, hand-drawn cartoons. ✍

Tomorrow night (11/05/2025 at 6pm EST), we're going to have Kate Xagoraris as a guest. She's worked on a couple of really interesting HDA toolkits for star catalogs and proteins. It should be a great chat with a lot of science nerdiness!

So. This is a nice visualisation tool to play with! Bothe #ERA5 and ESAcci datasets visualised for the whole world.
It would be fantastic to see it updated for the last 10 years.

Yay! Thanks to Laura Tran for interviewing me about my unusual career on The Scientist - I think "Don’t wait for permission. If you love it, keep at it." perfectly summarizes all the 'advice' I have to give 😅

The Nagel Lab @ UCR focuses on the temporal dynamics of temperature stress responses 🕗🌡️

Dawn needed two Figs to feature her research in oral presentations and grant proposals :
- An intro Fig. to present entrainment, compensation, phase shift, and gating, which involves the circadian clock and temperature
- A Fig. to highlight knowledge gaps

It was a pleasure to come up with graphic solutions to respond to Dawn’s needs 😃
✨ Thank you Dawn for trusting EffiScientiFig!

You analyzed your data, you made nice charts, you are ready to present your results and conclusions 👌
Wait a second, did you check if your plots are colorblind-friendly?

There are many resources to guide people with normal color vision in their color choices:

When I conceive your graphs and illustrations, I carefully consider the colors I pick to make my work (and so yours!) inclusive and accessible to the most people.
