I am beyond excited to share that our paper, "Neurodivergent Perceptions, Experiences, and Perspectives in Academic Biological Sciences Spaces" has been published! A 🧵incoming because this paper is so special to me and the co-authors. doi.org/10.1093/icb/...

I also think it's so important how rich a history scientific illustration has of being an intrinsic part of science communication! AI illustrations lack the accuracy of an attentive human illustrator, which is really crucial when you get down to the species level.

I didnt mention BioRender and BioArt in this and really should have!! Some people also are commenting Canva is full of AI and I’ve only noticed that in the editing tools. I havent seen AI created graphics. I also think AI editing tools is a separate conversation from actually making graphics.

It’s literally so easy nowadays to make a graphic. Canva is free, accessible, and easy. There’s quite literally no reason to need to use AI art

MAKING GRAPHICS IS EASIER THAN IT'S EVER BEEN Canva has an enormous library of clip art and graphics to choose from that artists made and were compensated for. You don't need artistic skills to utilize these tools. A graphic compiled of clip art that doesnt match (if you truly lack an artistic eye) is leagues better than Al art. Even when science communicators are mostly unpaid and doing this in their free time, creating a Canva graphic is still accessible and fast. @invertebabe

Are we celebrating horseshoe crabs today? Here's a stylized drawing I did a while back. Wanted to show off their undersides. We often used to find them upside-down on the beach growing up and we would turn them over and wish them good fortune 🦀

Digital drawing of 3 horseshoe crabs. 2 are right side up and one is upside down showing off its legs. The abstract background in tan and blue suggests a beach with the tide coming in.

Update: I was useless and distracted everyone by endless yapping until i tried an energy drink for the first time and crashed. Bad decision. Very bad. Never let me have an energy drink again. Will make it up to my team tomorrow 🥲

Nothing like taking your Vyvanse at 9pm at night because you confused it with your antibiotics. It’s 5am. Not even 2x the dose of NyQuil could touch me. My coworkers don’t even know what’s coming. And neither do I. Lets GO
