After a successful weekend with Biomass again, I figured I'd share a bit about its inception 🧵⬇️

Some scientific illustrations become memes*, some turn into cultural icons.
It requires a combination of originality, aesthetic, simplicity and scientific accuracy.
Here are some of them 🧵

*memes in the original sense: units of cultural inheritance that replicate and evolve

If you - like me - like to use color in your manuscripts, you're part of a large majority. In fact, almost everyone does. For good reason: Color is really useful! But how often do we stop and question if that color usage might come at the cost of accessibility and inclusiveness?

@sarahiannucci1 I'm very happy with my ipad Pro 12.9". I use it mainly for drawings/paintings. After 4 years everything still works like a charm. I recommend a dull foil for a more natural drawing experience.

What is also intersting besides the accuracy: the map was drawn upside-down because there was no 'right' orientation.

The Tabula Rogeriana, drawn by al-Idrisi for Roger II of Sicily in 1154, one of the most advanced ancient world maps. The image above is a modern consolidation, created from the 70 double-page spreads of the original atlas.

2⃣ One important one is, that my Blender tutorials are now available on youtube: https://t.co/6hb9JY0sTc All videos will be released (one chemistry and one biochemistry video per day until 24th of Dez). In case you are bored over the holidays, maybe give Blender a shot 😉
