Approaches for Science Illustration and Communication
This edited book explores approaches undertaken by biomedical illustrators and communicators to make science accessible, engaging and impactful.

Last year I worked with some incredible academics, artists & science communicators to bring together the edited book ‘Approaches for Science Illustration and Communication’ Vol 4 in the Springer Biomedical Visualization series. Check out the inspiring work 👉🏼 doi.org/10.1007/978-...

Seriously enjoyed the @britsciassoc.bsky.social award lecture by @tomhyatt.co.uk a couple of days ago!
We were taken on a wonderful journey which brought James Clerk Maxwell to light, via the materialisation and dematerialisation of electromagnetic art.
Can't wait to see what comes next! 👀

What is Electromagnetic Art?
Writer and science communication expert Alan Barker speaks to Tom Hyatt from Liverpool John Moores University ahead of his British Science Festival 2026 Award Lecture, 'Electromagnetic art'.

Over the last six years, I’ve been doing a PhD at @ljmuofficial.bsky.social at the interface between art and science, researching ‘Electromagnetic Art’: What is it? How might we make it? Why would we want to?
