Thanks Jana,

I agree that the purpose of the illustration has priority and that it is the task of the illustrator to make it fulfilling this purpose with the techniques at hand.

I make illustrations and animations for research scientists. I'm a research scientist myself, so I understand the field and the needs quite well. I strongly believe that scientific illustrations in this field need to be more easily accessible. It is one of my goals to accomplish this.

Feel free to have a look what we are doing here: http://www.somersault1824.com

Thanks Jana for the nice comments, that's really appreciated.

How does this work, the RG project you are talking about? Is it public? Can I find it somewhere?

It sounds like a great initiative.

To highlight complex issues, abstractions can help, which does not neccessarily demand next generation visualisations.

artist and designer + science researcher + educator translator, what a dream job.
