Along with being a great student, Diana is also a talented artist and scientific illustrator. Last summer, she was awarded one of three inaurgural grants from the EOS Center to produce a scientific illustration project that would contribute to knowledge either within or outside academia. Diana produced a stunning illustrated lab manual for our lab, making the learning curve for new students joining us much less steep (and also more enjoyable!). Diana and the other two students in her cohort are featured this week in SFSU’s campus newsletter in a detailed story about the grant and the outcomes from the first cohort of fellows. More recently, Diana has been putting her graphical and illustration skills to good use in the sucker ganglion connectome project.
