I'm off to engineer immune cells in a pharmaceutical company.
Science cartoons will continue, of course :)

Burn it to the ground.
Elsevier's revenue: £2.9 billion. WTF?

A thread of commission illustrations that I have done in recent years.
Mostly journal cover submissions and PhD thesis cover illustrations. Some prettier than others but often involving me having to learn a little bit more science in the process.

My daughter will hand me an unnecessary kitchen utensil while I'm cooking dinner.
Later, she will claim to have helped to make dinner saying it was a joint effort with daddy.
