s-ink Science Graphics

Earth's internal heat flow from the core, mantle and crust to the surface through conduction, convection, and advection. Figure by Fabio Crameri available openly from https://s-ink.org/earth-internal-heat-flow

From Earth’s warm heart to its surface glow,
Heat flows like time, constant in its flow, ~46 TW from below.

New year, new graphics to make hidden mysteries known,
Open, clear, and accessible to now call our own!

I wrote a piece for @egu.eu about academic evaluation and how the resulting incentives for academics are destructive.

I think it can be done better. 🕸️

Outer Solar System - s-Ink · accessible science graphics Illustration of the outer Solar System, including the Sun, rocky planets, asteroid belt, gas planets, Kuiper Belt, and the Oort Cloud.

Planets show their public-domain dance,
from the Sun to the Kuiper’s icy expanse.

Even the Oort Cloud’s a sketch away,
feel free to remix, reprint, or simply display!

Hi Mike, that’s great to hear. Obviously, we like your work too! 🫶

We mostly aim for Geoscience content right now (mainly to establish a clear direction and increase our chances to find dedicated funding), but are open for somewhat general content from other disciplines too.

Glad to hear. Thanks for the shoutout and sharing your poster!
We hope you had a good #AGU Meeting.

In terms of effective poster design…

Would be great if you could add us too! We mainly post about science graphics and related background information. — Thanks!

Ok, nice! Thanks for the info.

This is a great feed? Thank you!

Would our account fit in there too? — We share open science graphics including illustrations and artistic impressions.
