the culmination of one year of collaborative work on a #SciArt zine discussing gynecological issues, finally in print form! from a lovely team from the @sangerinstitute.bsky.social with special thanks to Dr @talkswithdrsesay.bsky.social and Dr Gioia Canciani for reviewing the contents! 🥼🩸

cover of a zine that looks like a corkboard, with various gynaecological organ pictures connected by red string, some pills pinned to it, a callendar, a page saying gyn app
the title is Pelvic Matters A collaborative zine on gynaecological health

last page of the corkboard zine, with the various sponsors, a qr code for the zine website, a DO NOT SCRAPE anti AI sticker, the 5 artists involved, the 6 writers involved and the two reviewers involved

cartoony page from the zine I drew, the colors are dark blue, light blue, yellow, orange, light pink and dark pink. the text is
When the uterus tissues go WILD! - ENDOMETRIOSIS-
endometrial-like tissue growing outside of the uterus
unclear origin (cells escaping fallopian tube at menstruation, immune dysfunction, local estrogen production, circulation, surgery, genetics)
Dr. Platypus fact: endometriotic lesions were even found in the brain, which caused neurological and psychiatric symptoms!
~8 years to get diagnosed
1/10 people
bleeding outside and inside
infertility
pelvic PAIN! during intercourse, bowel movement, urination, or for no good reason
nausea

the middle drawing is of an uterus, guts, kidneys ovaries and bladder covered in pink endometriotic lesions, none of the organs are happy about it, one ovary has a massive pink chocolate cyst on it (a cyst full of endometrial tissue and blood)

photo of seven of the eleven zine authors under a giant oak tree without any leaves (it is winter) each holding one zine.

Seymour Benzer was a leading behaviour geneticist, he discovered genes in Drosophila controlling circadian rhythm, mating, & memory. Lesser known is his work to find mutations that turn these slimy squishy flies into scrumptious delectable snacks #sciart #thecellmatescartoons

Our 2017 paper on Msh2 variants w @rhp-lab.bsky.social just reached 100 citations doi.org/10.1371/jour... We mostly focused on the impact of stability and degradation, but in hindsight we should also have highlighted our use of the GREMLIN Markov random field model to predict variant effects

That’s all for #VariantEffect25! This was my first time live sketching a conference, it was a really fun and interesting experience. The science was fantastic, i learnt so much!! Big thanks to everyone who shared any of my sketches or spoke to me about them, i really appreciate it.
