From PowerPoint slide → sketch → journal cover @green_rsc

This project for the #TessonnierGroup is a great example of why I enjoy scientific storytelling.

The challenge wasn't just to illustrate the chemistry, it was to create a visual journey through the science.

Starting from the original slide, we explored different concepts through sketches before building the final 3D cover illustration.

Swipe through to see how the idea evolved along the way.

One of my favorite parts of this work is watching a scientific concept transform into a visual story.

“Why is my figure misunderstood?” 🔬

Because figures don’t just communicate data, they communicate hierarchy, interpretation, and story.

A figure can be scientifically correct and still confusing if:
• the key takeaway isn’t obvious
• too many things compete for attention
• the visual flow is unclear
Scientists spend months refining experiments… and sometimes only hours refining the figure.
Yet it’s often the first thing people look at.

Curious, what’s the hardest part for you when making a figure?

The colors?
The story?
Knowing what to highlight?

@PapapetrouMDPhD @CellCellPress @ChrisAWalsh1 @NatureAging Congratulations Eirini!

[Abdel-Wahab Lab @AbdelWahablab]

@DrawImpacts thanks Emma @DrawImpacts ! always great to work with you.

Fascinating work on how MDS mutant cells reshape their local immune environment through TGFβ signaling and promote clonal expansion.

Proud to see our illustration accompanying the study 🧬

[Abdel-Wahab Lab @AbdelWahablab]

We identify a mechanism for clonal expansion of MDS through local immunosuppressive effects of MDS mutant cells through secretion of TGFb, as well as cell intrinsic effects as mutant cells themselves have dampened recognition of TGFb (gorgeous art by @DrawImpacts):

@AbdelWahablab Honored to contribute the artwork for this story 🧬 Congratulations to everyone involved!!

Love seeing the logo we designed show up alongside exciting science like this 😊

Big congrats, Reeshi, on the flash talk! Always special seeing the lab’s work and identity come to life together.

[Kanishk Jain @chromajain]

Reeshi gave a flash talk discussing his work on PRMT1 and nucleosomes at the Chemical Biology Colloquium yesterday. So proud to see the lab’s folks starting to present their work! 🥹

How lucky are we to have both @CLachowiez and @GMontalbanBravo ‘s papers out in this issue of @BCD_AACR today 😍😍… 🙏🏻 to @_TanyaBondar_ for the guidance & opportunity
 & to @DrawImpacts for the beautiful cover art. 🖼️
Check them out if you haven’t already.. we hope you enjoy reading them

@sanamloghavi @CLachowiez @GMontalbanBravo @BCD_AACR @_TanyaBondar_ So special to be part of this one. Huge congratulations to the whole team 👏
Beautiful science, and such a pleasure to help bring it to life visually!

[Itai Yanai @ItaiYanai]

@DrawImpacts @Nature It was fantastic to work with you on this Emma!!

[DrawImpacts @DrawImpacts]

@ItaiYanai @Nature Likewise! really enjoyed working together on this. Such a great project ✨

[DrawImpacts @DrawImpacts]

We designed the cover for this week’s @Nature ✨

Cellular learning: how cancer cells explore and stabilize gene-regulatory states to survive stress.

For the visual, we leaned into abstraction,
circles, overlap, and rhythm, inspired by the French Orphism art movement.

Still a bit surreal to see it out!

Congrats to the team 👏 @ItaiYanai & #GustavoStarvaggiFrança

Still can’t quite believe this one is out ✨
Curious, do you usually prefer more literal covers, or more abstract ones?

[DrawImpacts @DrawImpacts]

@ItaiYanai Huge congratulations to you and Gustavo!! Really exciting work. This was such a fun one to translate into a cover ✨👏
