A simple image search of ‘DNA’ or ‘DNA structure’ makes it clear that there are myriad ways, both inaccurate and accurate, of representing DNA in science illustrations and medical animations. For a virtual reality (VR) science game AXS Studio is develo...

I love my work — if you’re fortunate, you do too — and there are lots of reasons why.

Arkitek Scientific has created two animations for Boston Biomedical Inc., the first on the role of the STAT3 protein in cancer, and the second on the MCL-1 protein, again in cancer, and is now embarking on a third about the CDK-9 protein. You can see t...

Beth Anderson was invited to speak at the Association of University Technology Managers’ annual meeting in Phoenix, AZ, on the path from initial concept to final animation, and how reference plays such a critical role in shaping design direction....

The role of specific lipids in the skin is well known. Unifarco has created a technology that has harnessed the healing properties of these lipids, and developed it into a formulation that repairs the skin barrier. Arkitek has been engaged to create a ...

I care about case studies, and if you are looking for an illustrator, you should care about case studies too.…

The post Who Cares About Case Studies? appeared first on LEGACY BioStudios, LLC.

On Saturday, December 2, 2017, I have the distinct pleasure of being a guest voiceover coach at the VO Pro on the Go workshop, which is happening at three different studios in NYC from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. If you’re interested in attending and mention my name, you can get a 10% discount off the registration fee.

As one of the speakers for the inaugural TEDx event in Oakland in the fall of 2017, Ms. Anderson spoke about the intersection between art and science, and how in today’s world, the two seem farther apart than any time in the past 100 years. Drawi...

We were asked by Innonix to create an animation for their RespoKare anti-pollution mask, which uses a novel five part filtration technology to enhance its ability to screen out both harmful small particulates under 2.5 microns, as well as toxic gases s...

The truth is it’s not easy, and that’s why most voice actors shy away from this kind of work. For me, it’s challenging, educational and rewarding. But most of all, I love working with the fine artists who are illustrating the animations, creatives who care about excellence, perfectionists really, who produce stunningly beautiful work, which brings us back to the AMI Conference.

If you can't "be fully informed" after discussing this with your doctor, in his or her office, it's not likely that a 60-second ad will give you the full scope of the risks and rewards of any given treatment either.

That little tiny pill you take to relieve your insomnia could relieve you of your life.

The professor who hired me, a fellow member of the AMI, insisted on hiring a professional voiceover talent. This was the first time a professional voice actor was used, and to great success:

Fast forward to my world of voiceovers, and over the last couple of years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with Christian Chinese clients and get to know some of the brothers and sisters from the congregation who direct me in our sessions. My role is to speak God’s words in a sermon-type of recital, which is sometimes nearly 10,000 words/an hour long.

In less than 48 hours, Donald Trump will take the Oath of Office and be sworn in as America's 45th president. What's In store for freelancers under President Trump?

As a kid, I walked down Michigan Avenue in Chicago with my family as we marched against the war in Vietnam. Once again I am finding issues that touch me, my fellow voice actors, colleagues, friends, and family, and am willing to stand up to have my Voice 'Be Heard' on our behalf.

Hasta ahora hemos hablado de programas que instalamos en el ordenador, pero existe una gran variedad de programas on-line para crear gráficos. Y yo me pregunto: ¿Me estoy perdiendo algo? Después de hacer una pequeña investigación por la web he llegado a estas conclusiones que comparto con vosotros: Leer más…

Retomo de nuevo el blog para seguir hablando de dibujo digital. En el presente post os mostraré un vídeo de como he hecho un dibujo digital, desde el borrador hasta el resultado final. Además, explicaré las ventajas que tiene, en mi opinión, el dibujo digital frente al tradicional y así…

Your words, my voice. That’s what I do. I talk for a living.  Recently I had the distinct pleasure of being interviewed by Sandi Klein for her podcast Conversations with Creative Women.

Instead of living in that cloud, I’ve chosen to live in the silver lining, and it’s exciting to feel the change in the air. Loss creates space — for new people, new ideas, new approaches and new horizons.

Days, weeks, months and years have passed since the newly minted scientist first launched herself on this quest to uncover exactly why this particular cell acts like a normal, happy member of society most of the time, but then suddenly veers toward a d...

Pretty darned good, I’d say. But I’d like to answer that with a different question – what would the world look like if NOBODY embraced science and technology? Even if you decided to move to the farthest windblown, scorched or frozen, basically uninhabi...

I think humans are wired for stories, and naturally seek to encapsulate their experiences into narratives that help to explain what has happened. Without an arc, any series of events that are somehow tied together, don’t really seem to make much sense....

Humans get pretty cranky when they forget the original reason behind why they’re working so hard at something. I do. But it’s easy to have happen, since working on anything that involves time, effort and thinking generates a lot of data, and that data ...

I had thought that came to me in a conversation with my very first ballet teacher, whom I spent the day with in San Francisco some months ago – There are several attributes dance and science have in common, that I’m not sure many people have thought ab...

Precise lines and rich, accurate details make medical illustration extremely useful in learning about the human body. When we turn on the computer to research a subject, we hardly stop to think how the graphic representation of the subject has evolved over time or the path it has taken to get there. Medical illustration has evolved along with medicine itself, but its progress has been impaired at times by religious and ethical concerns. For example,

She died on Friday, May 13, 2016. She didn’t want to die. She fought hard to the bitter end. She had patients she was supposed to see that day.  She was a family therapist. She was 88.

Now, I see how blind I was.  Now, I struggle with letting go of everything I thought was true. All the dreams I had for my kids, all the expectations, and any image of who they were to become.

It’s easy to be apathetic, throw ones hands up and say, why bother? I’ve often felt such exasperation. But we must fight to support some semblance of a vision we believe will raise the tide and with it all boats. In the words of Hamilton, when challenging Aaron Burr on his lack of convictions, “If you don’t take a stand what will you fall for?” A double entendre if ever there was one.

As I see it, the more questions we bring to our health care providers, the more engaged we are in our care, and studies have shown that an involved patient is a healthier patient, and a healthier patient lowers healthcare costs overall.

AXS Studio science game developers Joyce Hui, Mike Kent, Susan Park and Brendan Polley recently stormed the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) annual Game Jam for a sleep-deprived weekend of art and coding. Given 2 days to finish a space-themed video game, the...

I have an update: a few weeks ago, I decided to hire a creative agency. I am too close to the problem, so an outsider's opinion is invaluable, and I'm an expert in illustration whereas others are experts at this very thing I need, branding. S...
