A seminar poster for Dr. Jeroen Claus, organized by the University of Toronto Mississauga's Biology Department. The poster includes a headshot of Dr. Claus, who has short brown hair, a beard, and is wearing a dark sweater, sitting in front of a bookshelf. The seminar title is "Accidental bioinformatics – When data vis becomes data science." Dr. Claus is the founder of Phospho Biomedical Communications and a member of the Association of Medical Illustrators, with research interests in visualizing molecular structures and protein kinase function. The event date was Friday, March 28, 2025, from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM in the Instructional Building (IB), Room 140. Prof. Nick Woolridge is listed as the principal investigator. The design includes a decorative blue geometric pattern along the bottom and the UTM Biology logo at the top.
A promotional image entitled "BMC80 Speaker Series 2025" introduces the guest Mesa Schumacher, principal, Mesa Studios. The design features a circular black-and-white photo of a smiling Mesa Schumacher on an abstract green and purple wave-like background graphic.

Cover of the University of Toronto Mississauga's Synergy 2024 Annual Report from the Office of the Vice-Principal, Research and Innovation. The cover features an illustration of a multi-level building with various research and innovation activities. The building has a green roof with plants, a lab, a classroom, and other collaborative spaces. The foreground includes symbols of science, diversity, and education, such as a DNA helix and an LGBTQ+ sign. The illustration is surrounded by autumn leaves and snow, suggesting seasonal transitions. In the upper left corner, there is an inset portrait of the creator Naomi Wee, a smiling young woman with long dark hair who wears a pearl necklace and a light-coloured top.
A presentation slide with a genAI attempt at visualising the brachial plexus. A black box labelled "Show & Tell" appears over the illustration. The slide's title reads "Artificial Intelligence in Scientific Visualization: A Catastropportunity." Presenters are Shay Saharan & Nick Woolridge, with supporting experiments from Priya, Derek, Alex, Man-San, and Dave.
A digital illustration of an educational resource titled 'Gully Deep Dive: An interactive multi-media learning resource for deep-sea biology.' The image depicts an underwater porthole view. Inside the circular window, a blue whale swims among pink deep-sea corals. A label reading 'whale diet' points to a squid near the whale's mouth. Another label reading 'coral polyps' points to details of the coral structure. The background is dark, resembling deep-sea depths. In the top right, a circular frame contains a photograph of the project creator Molly Wells, a smiling woman with short, wavy brown hair and glasses, who wears a white top.
An image that includes the NerveUs logo, a short description of its purpose, and a mockup of the website displayed on a laptop screen. The screen shows a webpage titled 'Understanding Peripheral Nerve Injury,' with a table of contents on the left and a section of text with interactive visuals. Callout labels highlight three key features: a sticky table of contents for navigation, chunked information for readability, and engaging interactive visuals. In the bottom right corner, there is a circular portrait of the project creator Bonnie Wang who has long dark hair and is smiling.
