Description
I sound the alarm on the origins to “Onomatopoeia”, highlighting the best examples that play with the English language. I also discuss the adaptation of the comic form as an educational tool in science. I interview the illustrious communicator Sophie Elschner (PhD) regarding her academic journey and how she created her own science comic to spotlight interesting psychological phenomena.
