Adventures in Synthetic Biology

Well, this is pretty cool. Adventures in Synthetic Biology is a comic that appears on the Nature website. A comic in a scientific journal? If that doesn’t legitimize the artform, I don’t know what does. It was drawn by Chuck Wadey and written by Drew Endy and Isodora Deese from the MIT Synthetic Biology Working Group. They even explain the process of creating a scientific comic in a the comic project wiki. (via easternblot)

    Chuck Wadey and R.S. Deese (a poet/writer and, it happens, Isadora Deese’s husband) have collaborated on a story called The Mirror and The Monkey and also on some beautiful pieces in MungBeing Magazine which appear alongside, coincidentally, a paper on Open Source Biology by Andrew Hessel who, it turns out, took part in the Program on Emerging Technologies Fall Multidisciplinary Panel Meeting at MIT! It all seems to spin around, doesn’t it?
