Why sketching matters + some of the many ways we can use sketches in SciArt and SciComm

Updated: Jan 14, 2024


I recently gave an invited talk/interview for a high school scientific illustration class. It was so much fun to think with them about the many ways that an illustration can operate in the world. I also chatted with them about my favorite supplies, and why I think sketching is a valuable part of training in science and related fields.


Here’s a link to the excerpt of my conversation where I shared these things. I've also written before about how to get into a SciArt career.
