What is Science Sketches?

Science Sketches began in 2014 as a project of Lisa Dennison and the Hyman lab. Wanting to make the most of their participation in the eLife Twitter Takeover, Lisa challenged two members of the lab, Jeff Woodruff & Louise Jawerth, to explain their projects in just 2 minutes. The videos were a hit and quickly became a key way for the lab to present its ongoing research and new publications in a concise, accessible way.

As the lab’s videos grew in popularity and others asked for help creating their own, we knew it was time to expand and create a space where anyone could go to learn about exciting new science, straight from the source.
