Hi all! I’ve seen some great diagrams in recent papers and I’m trying to improve my own. What’s your approach to designing scientific diagrams that really work for both expert readers and general audiences?
Hi! One thing I’ve learned is that simplicity wins—when paired with precision. I used to make overly detailed diagrams until I collaborated with Ella Maru Studio https://scientific-illustrations.com . They produce scientific images and animations for articles, proposals, and books that make even the most complex ideas more approachable. Their diagrams helped me present results more clearly and even improved peer review feedback on my figures.
