Hey #sciencetwitter , does creating and publishing an anthology of comic books about scientific research count toward my requirements for PhD completion? But really, help support this project by pre-ordering a copy on Kickstarter! https://t.co/4y4ts2xgPs

It’s our honor today to highlight Dr. Jewel Plummer Cobb, a dedicated cancer biologist and advocate who discovered an effective treatment for some skin cancers, lung cancers, and childhood leukemia! #BlackHistoryMonth #WomenInSTEM #BlackAndSTEM

We celebrate the remarkable work of Dr. Jared Gregory Ali (@ChemicAli_Lab), a professor in the department of @PSU_Entomology at @Penn_State. His research focuses on the relationship between plants, insects, and herbivores and how it impacts agriculture. #Blackhistorymonth2022

Couldn’t think of a better person to highlight for #BlackHistoryMonth Kojo is a personal mentor, friend, and fierce advocate for diversity in STEM!

[JKX Comics @jkxcomics]

For #BlackHistoryMonth, we’re excited to shine our spotlight on Dr. Kwadwo “Kojo” Opoku-Nsiah (@KojoOpokuNsiah), a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Biology  @Stanford University.

@LabRatIz @williamandmary Love this!!! Congrats, Izzy!!!

What a joy to brainstorm and execute ways to share a bit about such a fascinating organism. I am delighted to see how others envisioned and brought this assignment to life. Super dope video, @AaronEvoDevo!

[Arcadia Science @ArcadiaScience]

Part 2, con't: And special shoutout to the winner of the hackathon, @AaronEvoDevo! We absolutely loved his video, as well as the work from the other finalists, @JustinePinskey @faythtan @_heyheyMONET & Ana Wang. Check it out on our new YouTube channel! https://t.co/UW9PW6emHW /4

Drew a new portrait for #AAPIHeritageMonth. Are you familiar with Filipina scientist Lucille Abad, creator of Carrageenan Plant Growth Promoter? It’s been a fantastic help in agricultural settings improving rice yields.

[JKX Comics @jkxcomics]

Did you know that red seaweed or gulaman dagat are not just edible sea leaves? This unsuspecting alga is also a nutrient reservoir for crops, making it an agricultural staple. Lucille Abad is a #Filipina nuclear scientist who first discovered this utility... #AAPIHM

Have you seen our latest #WomensHistoryMonth post on materials chemist Uma Chowdhry? 👀 Ps. I’ve really been into 70s themed things lately — hence the font.

[JKX Comics @jkxcomics]

What do MRIs, mass specs, and NMRs have in common? They have a superconducting component! A superconductor is a material that has no resistance to electrical current at temperatures near absolute zero. Uma Chowdhry is a materials chemist that revolutionized this technology. #WHM

I had a lot of fun drawing this! Who better to highlight for #BlackHistoryMonth than the woman behind the Moderna vaccine? Endlessly inspired! ✨

[JKX Comics @jkxcomics]

As the Covid-19 vaccine begins to make rounds in the US & abroad, it has become a hot topic of discussion in our homes. Perhaps you've also heard the name Dr. Kizzmekia Corbett buzzing around as well? If not, @KizzyPhD is a name remember! #BlackHistoryMonth #BHM #WomenInSTEM

[Kelly Monét Montgomery @_heyheyMONET]

Had such a good time chatting about science and art with @ctoradio!

[Carry the One Radio @ctoradio]

Science & art have more in common than meets the eye. In part 2 of our science+art miniseries, we learn how to tell critical, impactful science stories through illustration from two scientist-artists, Kelly Montgomery and Sophie Wang (@wangshuf). Enjoy!

Love that Jaye captured the moment when we smashed that goal! WHEW! Good day!

[Kelly Monét Montgomery @_heyheyMONET]

Y'all are amazing, we have not only reached but surpassed our goal in only 5 hours! Truly, I am so grateful! But Keep on sharing and contributing. More funds mean more comic books to freely give to students! A win all around.

[Kelly Monét Montgomery @_heyheyMONET]
