Welcome to NatureVolve issuesue 9
At NatureVolve, we are a community commited to bridging science and art together through a common appreciation of nature. It is now more important than ever before to protect the natural world as we fight global environmental problems, including climate change and plastic pollution. Here, we are pleased to present issue 9 with you which has the special theme - Our Planet.
Sharing diverse topics from science to conservation and art, we specially emphasize the earth sciences and environment in this edition. Meanwhile, this does not leave out interesting discoveries and illustrations in the life sciences. We begin the Science section by looking at geoscience discoveries, and then take a look at 3D visualizations of the human skull.
In the Conservation section we take a glance at some interesting conservation points, such as the gap that can exist between fields of research and practice, and how parasites can aid conservation. Then, the group RE-PEAT share their story on how their plight for peat protection began. We have beautiful geological artwork in the Scicomm section, showing microscopic thin section views and rock outcrops in the landscape.
Going into biology once again, bio-illustrations show microbiological worlds, including the spike protein structure of Covid-19, plus anatomical pin badges and an animated neuron showing electrical activity. The section then goes deeper into Scicomm community causes and events including the EGU’s Art-Science event at Europe’s largest geosciences conference which NatureVolve took part in.
In the Art section we have mesmerizing photography as well as bio-art, fine art and experimental pieces by a range of talented artists inspired by nature. In Written Word, we finish off with a look at memorable book releases across the science-art boundary, as well as conservation and science inspired poems and guest articles sharing
personal p thoughts and reflections.
Our digital magazine continually shares the ideas of both scientists and creatives with worldwide communities as we all unite to celebrate nature.
