| Abstract |
In pursuit of a career in Biomedical Illustration, I created a BIS degree program that allowed me to combine my passions in both art and science. For my senior thesis project, I intend to create a scientific illustration of my own to showcase how the things I have learned work together to clearly communicate an abstract neurobiological concept. I intend to showcase how that neurobiological concept is interpreted by the scientific community typically (data), and upon rendering it as a medical illustration, produce a cohesive image that thoroughly explains that scientific topic in a way that is more accessible. Pairing with a graduate student in Neurobiology, I will be using their research on neurohormones and their effects on cognition in relation to Alzheimer’s Disease as a model to create an illustration to convey the key points of her findings. This illustration will describe how different areas of the brain are affected, the pathways involved in hormonal communication, and represent that research in an easily interpreted visual representation.
