Welcome to this series of low key, one hour, drawing sessions where we draw from science. One short warm up followed by 10 five-minute drawings curated around a scientific theme. RSVP

What are the cells that make our hearts. How does the heart beat? This session will explore building a heart (cardiac development), and the cell types that work together to make your heart beat. In the image above, Tessadori and colleagues describe the development of pacemaker cells in the zebrafish, an important model system for developmental genetics.

Of note: This is not a kid focused event, although children are very welcome to join in together with their favorite interested grown ups. Please don't leave your child unattended in front of the screen, as we don't edit the images or topics for children. Adults like science and drawing too. In this session, we will be looking mostly at microscope images, pathology slides and models of the cells that make the heart. That said:

Our events are always free and everyone is welcome. If drawing will lift someone up, please invite them to draw with you. If you can, donate to your favorite social justice or environmental organization. Do what you can. Even a 5 minute drawing is better than no drawings. Take care of yourselves and each other. .
