Graphic Science - The Human Microbiome
Perrin Ireland likes to tell science stories, but instead of using words she uses her gift for art. Here’s some frames from her recent look at the Human Microbiome Project. The full collection is great.
Some of her previous visual science stories: James Cameron’s trip to the bottom of the Mariana Trench, and the ultrasonic courtship of mice.
It’s also nice to see that I’m not the only fan of the iPad app Paper, the best drawing app I’ve ever found :) I drew this a while back.
