109 participants from 52 countries are convening at Africa CDC Headquarters in Addis Ababa for a focused, experience-led meeting on strengthening routine national antimicrobial resistance (AMR) surveillance systems, including the integration of pathogen genomic data.

One of the best noir comics you can get. I’m not kidding
Extinction rarely departs with drama, it slips out the back door while we’re still debating the guest list. These records are made official on the Red List. "Conservation failures are often recognised only once they can no longer be reversed."

three pages playing with three different styles - Archie, street angles and tales from the crypt
three strips - playing with styles of three different cartoonists, Jim Davis, Stephan Pastis, and Charles Schulz
three pages of comics paying home to three styles - Tillie Walden, Tatsuki Fujimoto, Schulz
one page, three styles Bill Watterson Raina Telgemeier and Marnie Galloway
In my intro Making course, a favorite project, students pick 3 comics authors that inspire, influence, aspire to be like to mimic for a comic about themselves for "autobiographical influences". Some stellar examples from this time around 1/3
2/3 of a comics page in progress, four rows, five panels in each. The first shows a cloud of gas in space disrupted by a supernova far off that collapses the gas cloud. Second row shows the cloud of gas spinning together, forming a star int he center and a thin disk of dust and gas outside it. Next row shows bits of rocks clumping, smashing together and coalescing into small planetoids. Final row shows a planetoid gathering lots of gas and other stuff to form the first planet - Jupiter. Then the other planets start to take shape as well taking in what's left...
Some setbacks in time over the past month, and overthinking how I wanted to ink the most recent row, but 20/30 panels done on the origin of the solar system - the pantheon is taking shape... Excited to see it all coming together!

Two page prompt to encourage you to go for a walk and draw what you see.
A short biog about Angela chick with a little figure drawing of her with a contraption on her head to generate ideas.
What is a creativity starter. Details about her own experience and what to expect.
👀 Look at this awesomeness I received this great Zine 'Creativity Starters' from @angelachick.bsky.social. A perfect antidote to my own creative block! Totally made from the heart and full of fun ♥️

A chart showing cancelled NIH grants
“I would like to cure brain cancer. I think that's not particularly controversial.” Be that as it may, the NIH terminated that scientist's grant. Here's a huge survey of the 2,500 grants that NIH has killed or delayed...so far. Gift link: nyti.ms/43Jz1yJ
Aaah thank you! I really enjoyed it :) 🤗
best practices: Use Hierarchy. Shapes piled in size order with 'use hierarchy' in large text. Smaller text, 'you'll probably read this about drawing attention later on'.

The chaos from the examples submitted from the workshop participants. 4 egs of bad colour, too much info and no whitespace
Great fun running an Accessible Science Figure Design workshop at @unibirmingham.bsky.social! We looked into #Gestalt & #UX in the context of #curbcutting -accessibility helps everyone. More context here: tinyurl.com/fig-design TY @cassiebakshani.bsky.social 💜 #AccessibleDesign #SciComm #AMR

Looking forward to tinkering more

Four line diagrams showing protein chunks (lavender or blue) bound to DNA chunks. All are structures from the Protein Data Bank (1A66, 2LEF, 1E7J, and 2N8A, respectively). Multiple conformers are laid on top of each other, so the result is kind of messy and sketchlike.
It's #DNAday. Wanna see some pictures of DNA? I thought so.
My favorite forms of DNA are slouchy, jaunty, dancey, and angsty.
I enjoyed collaborating with @thecgps.bsky.social on the UX/UI design of amr.watch
A design goal was to make global genomic data accessible & visually impactful - highlighting regional disparities & improve decision-making on Antimicrobial Resistance

I can’t recommend Anna’s courses enough - you’ll see storytelling, and the stories you tell in a completely different way.

Do you think you're sitting still right now?
- You're on a planet that orbitis a star at 30km/s
- That star is orbiting the center of a galaxy at 230km/s
- That galaxy is moving trough the universe at 600km/s.
Since you started reading this, you have traveled about 3000km.
