Thinking bout how cool it'd be if there's a movement of comics creators partnering with academics/museums/institutions in the sciences and humanities to produce books and materials for outreach and communications. I know I am not the only one wanting to break in.

I'm seeing creators publish short comics in digital magazines about mushrooms and AI and politics, making books based on historical figures/classical literature, etc. We love communicating knowledge to the public and we have the SKILLS to make it engaging!!!

There's @GraphicMedicine (comics creators working with medical professionals) doing interesting work, especially during COVID, and I wish to see more of this in the rest of STEM and also the humanities. The things we can do with ART HISTORY!! BIOLOGY!! SPACE!!

(My niche is in intertextual art history and classical literature e.g the Alexander legends; and weird macabre things. But I've a STEM degree and love astronomy - how the universe began, how life forms and diversifies, how it may die. Food history is great too.)

Also feel free to go off in this thread on what subject matter or field you'd like to make comics for (or if you're an academic/someone in an institution looking for a creator). Maybe something will happen, haha.
