Science communication and outreach

Science communication is not limited to publications in research journals. Teaching materials, oral presentations, seminar announcements or science outreach events for the general public; they all benefit from visuals specifically designed for the target audience. Below, you can find examples of my illustrations for a wide variety of science communication purposes.
