My second cover illustration published this week, and it's in THE Nature! 🤯 It features brilliant research from Dr. Raphael Morscher and Sarah Cherkaoui at U Zurich that shows how a depleted diet can halt protein translation in a pediatric neuroblastoma. #scicomm #sciart #nature #cancer

New illustration published in Immunity this week! 🫧🐟 This visual metaphor highlights research from the Pereira Lab at Lund University. They found transcription factor combinations that reprogram cancer cells to become immune cells, which then have an anti-cancer effect. #sciart #scicomm #immunity

📢 New in @ImmunityCP: We have mapped the transcription factor “routes” that program two dendritic cell subsets opening paths for personalized #cancer #immunotherapy. Read it here: doi.org/10.1016/j.im... Here is a summary of what we discovered 🧵: Illustration by @azuravesta.bsky.social

Hey #PortfolioDay I'm Aled, I'm a Welsh freelance illustrator and concept artist. I like to illustrate nature, wildlife and anything Welsh! ✨ I think this is the perfect opportunity to show off my new website! 🌐 aledthompson.com 📧 [email protected]

Over the past several months I've been working on bringing this idea to life, and I'm excited to finally share Biophile Media — an online platform that transforms #science, #health, and #climate research into understandable and inspiring visual stories! Check it out here: www.biophile.media

✅ Career goal complete! Excited to say my illustration was selected for the Feb issue of Nature Neuroscience! It was an absolute pleasure working with cutting edge researchers to visualize their study on neural activity in a playful, metaphorical way. #sciart #medcomms #neuroscience

Here's an animation I made that shows fluid flow in/out of the kidneys, with emphasis on the lymphatics since they are often left out of anatomical illustrations: ➡️ Fluid enters via the renal artery ⬅️ Fluid exits via the renal vein, lymphatics, and as urine #scicomm #sciart #kidney #anatomy

Excited to say this infographic I helped create for Real Chemistry has been translated into Spanish! This 2-part #infographic breaks down what the Social Determinants of Health are and how healthcare providers can address them. PDFs available here: azuravesta.com/the-sdoh #SciArt #SciComm #SDOH

People always tell me I don't do enough promotion for my books so here is a conveniently timed #throwbackthursday of everything I ever published! If you want to indulge in seasonal shopping you can find links for all on matteofarinella.com #graphicscience #comics #neuroscience #scicomm #sciart

POV: you're skydiving through a forest of nephrons (the structure that filters blood in the kidneys)

Bluesky seems like the perfect place for me to share this #infographic about how #microplastics affect human health! This is a part of my new media platform (launched today!) called Biophile Media that will focus on the intersection of climate and health. #climate #climatechange #sciart #scicomm

Blown away by the response after a single day on this platform! A pleasure to meet you all — here's a bit more about me: Besides my career as a medical illustrator ✏️🫀, I'm a big nature enthusiast and hobby photographer 🌲📸, scuba diver 🐙, rock climber 🧗🏻‍♀️, and avid concert-goer (multiple per month 💃🏻🎵)

Outside of traditional medical illustration, I love exploring themes of human connection with nature in my #SciArt. Here's some of my more personal works:
