Thread! It’s great to have been able to collaborate with @Scient_Art on a detailed model of the #SARS-CoV-2 virus particle, the cause of #COVID-19, using methods we’ve developed with @GSofASimVis @GSofA and @CVRinfo #scicomm #sciart (1/13)
These have been used by @snjasim to illustrate an @UKRI_News article on ‘Getting to know the new coronavirus’ https://coronavirusexplained.ukri.org/en/article/cad0010/">https://coronavirusexplained.ukri.org/en/articl... (2/13)
Thanks to @Scient_Art and @GlasgowLifeSci you can explore #SARS-CoV-2 in 3D on @SketchFab here: https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/sars-cov-2-virion-90d920eaea3643a388b0d5855cc38c27">https://sketchfab.com/3d-models... (3/13)
And here, showing the interior of the #SARS-CoV-2 virus particle https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/half-view-of-sars-cov-2-virion-c9ac6b27205a445baa913d6b93989966">https://sketchfab.com/3d-models... (4/13)
And also here, showing the #SARS-CoV-2 virus particle’s component parts https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/sars-cov-2-envelope-section-400b397b402246eaab2d33436f43bcb5">https://sketchfab.com/3d-models... (5/13)
You can view @Scient_Art’s video description of the #SARS-CoV-2 virus particle here https://youtu.be/7oiSWfVHg98 ">https://youtu.be/7oiSWfVHg... (6/13)
And you can download all of the images and 3D models (for free) for your own #scicomm #sciart #visualisation and #graphics needs, here http://researchdata.gla.ac.uk/1017/ ">https://researchdata.gla.ac.uk/1017/&quo... (7/13)
There’s more! We also made a #ColouringSheet, if you want to colour in COVID, or want to explain the virus to someone who does. #SciComm #Sciart https://www.gla.ac.uk/media/Media_723442_smxx.pdf">https://www.gla.ac.uk/media/Med... (8/13)
To put this together we drew on published work on coronaviruses, notably from @DrBenNeuman, and on previous illustrations, in particular this superb painting by @dsgoodsell (9/13)
Our model builds on our collaborations with the joint @GSofA and @UofGlasgow MSc in Medical Visualisation and Human Anatomy https://tinyurl.com/yav9hv3r ">https://tinyurl.com/yav9hv3r&... especially with #NainaNair, who built this amazing influenza virus model with supervision from @dlivingstone (10/13)
… which @Scient_Art and @GlasgowLifeSci also put on @SketchFab for us https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/influenza-virus-b3ef4264dbcf4d59a75b3c551484fc96">https://sketchfab.com/3d-models... … (11/13)
… along with another view of influenza viruses, here: https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/a-variety-of-influenza-virus-particles-9853fc3934c6435a9d46857e61428934">https://sketchfab.com/3d-models... … (12/13)
We’re now working with @dlivingstone, other former @GSofASimVis students and @snjasim and @cggbamford to develop this further – as an AR app, which you can preview here https://tinyurl.com/yc8edw7a ">https://tinyurl.com/yc8edw7a&... and as a short paper. Watch this space! (13/13)
