We had the privilege of creating the cover for the @nature.com perspective by #GustavoSFrança & @itaiyanai.bsky.social ! From brief and early sketches to the final published cover, here's a look behind the creative process. #SciComm #ScientificIllustration

We designed the cover for this week’s Nature ✨ Loved working on this one, such a great concept to bring to life. Congrats to the team 👏

We're in this week's Nature! We propose a model of how a cell learns by running an evolutionary algorithm: exploring different gene-regulatory combinations and using feedback responses to stabilize those combinations that reduce stress levels. Full text: nature.com/articles/s41...

Yesterday we spent time with the #Incyte team as part of our ongoing collaboration. It’s always valuable to hear the science directly from the people behind it and think together about how visual strategy can support their goals. Conversations like these are where strong scientific visuals begin!

Color in scientific visuals is semantic. 🔴 Red=activation: inflammation, upregulation, pathway turned on 🔵 Blue=baseline: control, stability, homeostasis 🟢 Green=growth: proliferation, recovery, renewal Color is part of the narrative #ScienceCommunication #ScientificIllustration #Biotech #DataViz

We designed the slides for one of the 2025 @ash.hematology.org plenary talks! #IrenaeusChan At that scale, slides aren’t visual aids; they’re stage design. Cohesion becomes critical. When a deck feels unified, the science feels clearer. Strong decks feel like they came from one mind!

#FromSketchToCover ✨ This cover for molsystbiol.org adapts Gustav Klimt’s Hope II into a cover art The challenge was balance: keeping the emotional weight of the original artwork while communicating the science of placental immune dynamics during pregnancy. 🔗 link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Before we illustrate, we ask: - What can we remove? Clarity in scientific figures often comes from subtraction, not addition. Showing less can communicate more. #SciComm #DataViz #ScientificIllustration

Loved illustrating the summary figure for this review on AI-assisted transcriptomic signatures in pancreatic cancer, in @uegj.bsky.social . A special full-circle moment with the @crcm.bsky.social team in Marseille. @nelsondusetti.bsky.social ! 🗞️ onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

As 2026 takes shape, I’m looking forward to collaborating with researchers and labs to translate complex ideas into clear, thoughtful visuals! — Emma #ScientificIllustration #ResearchCommunication #SciArt

✨ Happy Holidays from the DrawImpacts team ✨ Grateful to the researchers, labs, journals, and partners who trusted us to help visualize their science this year. Wishing you a restful holiday season and a bright year ahead! — Emma & the DrawImpacts team 🎄✨ #HappyHolidays #DrawImpacts

Proud to have our DrawImpacts cover featured in the new issue of @cp-cellstemcell.bsky.social for the Jamieson Lab!

👩‍🚀 What are the health effects of space on astronauts? Our Catriona Jamieson, MD, PhD, sheds light on the topic in a new @cp-cellstemcell.bsky.social article. Her work — the 1st comprehensive study of stem cell health in astronauts — provides answers NASA Twins couldn't: bit.ly/3KsuyLe

Excited to share our latest cover @cp-cellstemcell.bsky.social, for the Jamieson lab’s study on space-associated stem cell aging using the HSPC-FOMA-R framework!🌼🚀 Dandelions, drifting seeds & an hourglass bring their findings to life✨ 🔗 www.cell.com/cell-stem-ce... #DrawImpacts #SciArt #CoverArt

Happy Thanksgiving from #DrawImpacts! 🍂 As we wrap up another busy season of illustrations, figures, covers, and creative projects, we’re taking a moment to appreciate the brilliant community around us. Wishing everyone a warm and inspired holiday break! 🧡

🗓️ Calendar packed? Figures still blank? Been there. 😅 That’s why I started DrawImpacts: to help scientists turn rough sketches and late-night ideas into clear, publication-ready visuals. 🎨 Visuals that draw real impact. #SciArt #SciComm #ScienceIllustration #DrawImpacts #ScienceArt #AcademicLife

New in NatureGenetics! 🧠 We illustrated the cover submission for this paper on epigenetic editing of memory expression, a beautiful take on molecular memory. Congrats to all authors! @graeffjohannes.bsky.social @dmcoda.bsky.social

Davide Martino Coda@dmcoda.bsky.social · 9mo ago

Huge congrats to all authors and thank you @drawimpacts.bsky.social for the cover art illustrating how epigenetic modifications act as molecular memory aids!

Interesting data-backed look at something we often feel intuitively as designers: visuals shape trust and perception long before words do. 💠 Even in science, what we choose to show tells the story first! #DrawImpacts #Sciart #Scicomm #Logodesign hbr.org/2019/09/a-st...
