Cartozia Tales: a Comic about Maps Made by Escaping Geography
Part of the purpose here on Symbiartic is to put forth ideas about how science communication can learn from art, the way art is increasingly informed by science.
Symbiartic
The art of science and the science of art.
Dress So Chic You Can See It From Space
Since Bora Zivkovic first asked me to moderate a session back at ScienceOnline 2009, I’ve been hoping to instill the importance of imagery into the wider science communication conversation.
Piled High and Deeper
No one hones in on the insanity and hilarity of the graduate student existence quite like Jorge Cham of PhD comics, which here doesn’t stand for doctor of philosophy, but Piled High and Deeper.

Turns Out There IS Something New Under the Sun
If there is anything new under the sun it has to be this – and delightfully, it’s the domain of the moon. This spectacular table by Adrien Segal captures tidal data collected from San Francisco Bay for the duration of a full lunar cycle, 29 days in April and May of 2006.
Unique Art Pendants
For my birthday this year, a dear friend got me something she knew I’d like: a gorgeous metal cuff bracelet with the periodic table on it.
Standing (and Soaring) with Canadian Science
As Symbiartic’s representative Canadian, I’m at least one science illustrator who stands with Canadian scientists today to protest our Conservative government’s attack on science and science communication.
Stellar Photography By A Citizen Astronomer
By now you might be used to spectacular images of celestial bodies thanks to organizations like NASA and the ESA. But it’s still possible to be wowed by these images, especially when they’re taken by people like you and me.
See Mike Draw… Science!
Did you know that you can combine science and dark humor in a comic? Well, let me introduce you to See Mike Draw, a webcomic drawn by Mike Jacobsen.
Road Kill So Perty You Can Bring It Home To Ma
Most people swerve around road kill in hopes of avoiding the gore, or worse, the dreaded thwump that indicates you added your treadmarks to the list of said road kill’s insults.
