Scientific Illustration
My scientific background in biology drove me to create illustration either for my own research or for my peers. I also created a few illustrations for vulgarization workshops in elementary schools.

Life cycle of a trematode responsible for black spot disease
Bluntnose minnow (Pimephales notatus)
Sand goby (Pomatoschistus minutus)
2010 - present
Created as part of my master's thesis on the effect of black spot disease on the personality and cognitive abilities of the pumpkinseed sunfish (Lepomis gibbosus). Black spot disease is caused by several species of trematodes which have a complex life cycle, meaning they depend on two or more host to complete their life cycle.
