About one month ago I decided that I wouldn't draft boring standard figures for research publications any more. Why can't scientific illustrations be funny, creative, engaging, speaking vividly and directly about the parameters they depict?

Curious? Please 🔍 our latest story.

Wanna dive deep into physiology of mouse dopamine system?
Please welcome on board of our submarine. Check out our latest story by Zixuan et al.

P.S. Bored (as my wife) of dull stereotypic scientific illustrations? You'll be amazed by these ones.

And guess what? They get enchanted🥶, not yelling at us anymore to stop eating. So, we just keep munching away! 🍔Oh no! 😢

Can someone clog this ear?
We did.

So grab some 🍿and 🔎📰https://t.co/kMu5JQld7y
...but just don't overdo, because, remember, the little stars ✨...
