Scientific Illustration

In all stages of science communication, from childhood interest, to secondary education, to professionals and research, illustrators step in to translate the information into materials that fit the needs of  individuals at every level of understanding.  The ability to transform and craft compelling images, charts, and models that provide accurate information is a skill unique to the scientific illustrator.
