Check out Club SciWri's latest comic on the origin of supermassive black holes by comics artist and physics grad student Pranav Satheesh, in partnership with ComSciCon. Supermassive black holes are cosmic giants lurking at the centers of most galaxies. They are essential in unraveling the history of galaxy formation. However, their origin story remains a mystery to us. Find out more about the leading theories behind their formation in the context of the latest results from the James Webb Space Telescope. https://lnkd.in/gw7KugHf Editors-Ananya Sen and Roopsha Sengupta #supermassiveblackholes #astronomy #sciencecomics #jwst #nasa
About us
Club SciWri is a club of science writers which originated from a Career Support Group created by ex-IISc students. The focus of Club SciWri is on science communication which hopes to strengthen the bridge between Science and Society . As science progresses to challenge the limits of human imagination, it becomes more imperative that scientists make the society understand the benefits of their work. The unique thing about this club is that we will be posting blogs written by members of the scientific enterprise. When we say members of the scientific enterprise, we refer to the academics, the entrepreneurs, the intellectual property experts, the policy makers and the myriad of emerging avenues that helps science make the world a better place. At Club SciWri we believe that these sculptors of science are the people who can convey the true sense of their creation and the nuances of their work which never get conveyed to the general audience even if they read their research paper or their company profile.

As a scientist constantly under the pressures of publishing, Angela Andersen often wondered what life was like on the other side of the fence. Once she crossed the fence and entered the world of publishing as a journal editor at Cell, she finally learned about what was truly expected of the scientists. After traveling down both roads, she decided to carve out a new path for herself--using what she learned as an editor to help other scientists publish. Check out her story and how she and Helen Pickersgill established not one but two companies to aid scientists in their endeavors to communicate their science! https://lnkd.in/gpAGvaMs Author-Rohini Subrahmanyam, Editors-Sumbul Khan, Roopsha Sengupta, Illustrator-Manasi Pethe #Lifescienceeditors #Lifescienceeditorsfoundation
