“Make stuff you love and talk about stuff you love and you’ll attract people who love that kind of stuff. It’s that simple.”

― Austin Kleon, Show Your Work!

A two-panel comic of Abbey’s thoughts on learning about science communication, where she reflects, “The moment I realized that science communication existed I felt a renewed sense of motivation and appreciation for science.” Top panel features a figure representing a sad Abbey before learning about science communication, thinking “Everyone else is so smart, why do I feel so dumb? Why are these papers so boring and so full of big words? Science is too hard for me. I love art and science, why can’t I do both?” Bottom panel features a figure representing a happy Abbey after learning about science communication, thinking “My lived experience is valid and science isn’t the only valuable knowledge source. They are using jargon to sound smart and exclude people when it could really be said in a more simple way. It wasn’t all my fault for not understanding. I can combine my passions for art and science.”

The Front Cover displays an iridium-based bridge, which has been used for the borylation of an N-heterocycle, 2-methylpyridine. Inspiration for this design comes from the Ambassador Bridge, North America's busiest international land border crossing, which connects Windsor (Canada) and Detroit (USA). This bridge is located just outside the University of Windsor main campus. DemBoryl Co. stands for Demchuk Borylation Company, a nod to the first author's family name.
