The Curious Zoo of Extraordinary Organisms
In our lab we work on a diversity of organisms from spiders, single cells to worm blobs. To share the extraordinary beauty of these wonderful organisms, we have made multilingual comics to accompany our peer reviewed scientific papers. These comics are as part of our outreach efforts supported by a National Science Foundation CAREER grant. Comics illustrated by Lindsey Leigh.
