Creativity is an integral part of any scientific endeavour. Whether they venture into the unknown to test hypotheses, uncover new paradigms or develop new technologies, scientists must be able to think outside the box and creatively come up with ideas and solutions. However, creative thinking can also be a powerful tool to communicate science. With my scientific illustration work, I aim to tell science stories using unconventional visuals and bright colours. By using creative metaphors and visuals drawn from everyday experience, I aim to bring the world of molecular biology to life and to engage a broader audience of scientists from all disciplines and the general public. Each of my illustrations represents a scientific discovery in an enjoyable, unconventional, yet scientifically rigorous, format.
