Bursting into Brandeis

 "Drawing Your Own Conclusions"

A stimulating five-day course for scientists. 

To include lectures, discussions and workshops on the exploration and interpretation of illustration and visual communication

 Fifteen amazing PhD science students attended our drawing week at Brandeis University, Boston Mass. USA at the beginning of september. Away went all electronic devices, and out came paper and pencils. 
A handful have now been inspired to become scientific illustrators and will be setting up a blog to stimulate debate and explore the possibilities and applications. More on that soon.

They were great to work with and we are receiving all flavours of interesting feedback... 

 "I liked the balance of material being presented:discussion:drawing/practicing visual communication. All seem important for this course and it wouldn't be good to skimp on any of them."

"The lectures were very interesting, but also very slow-paced. I think the lecture material could have easily been covered in half the time, without skipping any content. With the extra time, we could have done more drawing exercises, making me much happier."

 "The course has certainly altered my work. I had to make a new figure recently and I started with pencil and paper."

 ...and finally:

 "I enjoyed watching Maddy read through everyone and try to push their buttons just for the fun of it."
