[Coral-List] Cartoons for Science Communication

[Sarah Frias-Torres]

Dear Coral-List,

this is a shameless plug for my new science communication approach.


I'm making cartoons to share the basic message of a peer-reviewed paper or a science story shown in the news.

The cartoons are found in my Twitter feed. Soon, they'll be hosted at a website.


Usually, there's a connection between Hollywood films and the cartoons. So far they include:


..- A coral restoration cartoon inspired by the 1969 Western musical "Paint Your Wagon"

..- A drones vs. whales cartoon inspired by the 1950 American film "Sunset Boulevard"


I'm still engaged with more traditional science communication products including

..- A science outreach blog:

..- A microfiction blog (fables for grown-ups) with illustrations
