How is your relationship with science?
Too often, "it's complicated"

It shouldn't have to be 😉 www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekuB...

One for #spacetober_challenge - planets!

I’ll be sharing the behind the scenes of making these on my Instagram soon. Same username as here, if you want to be friends there 🙂

#SciArt #Spacetober #planets

Thank you!

Making some new space themed papercuts for a market soon 🌙

Really loving the color-coordinating mount! (And planning to paint the frames too)

#paperart #sciart #space #spaceart

Thank you! It’s been lovely to share them and see that other people enjoy them too!

Brave! 😄

You can only pick one:
- Foodie trip to the Archean
or
- Critter spotting in the Cambrian?

Neither? Ok... I have some others too. Check them out > www.luciaperezdiaz.com/category/all...

Yesterday was fun! (And exhausting)

I ran four children’s workshops at @geolsoc.bsky.social as part of London Open House Festival. We built geological timescales, put together tectonic plate puzzles and talked about how the Earth works and what being a scientist is like.

Thanks for having me!

I strongly second this! 👏🏾

When talking about science communication, I also always stress that *all* forms and forums of communication matter 🔄

Whether it’s a big, factually correct but details-lite TV show or movie…or just chatting to granny or your mates in a pub 🗣️

Ps. If you like my work, check out The Map Cabinet (my humble online shop), where you can find prints and paper goods inspired by Earth and Science (and, on ocassion, even some originals).

Get in touch | LuciaPerezDiaz Working together? I thought you'd never ask!

I think that’s most of it!

If you’ve got a project that needs compelling visuals, or if you want to learn how to make your science figures less… ugly (sorry-not-sorry 😅), let’s chat!

You can message me through my website: www.luciaperezdiaz.com/contact

Given all of this, you won’t be surprised to find that I run workshops and give lectures on the importance of #SciComm, and how graphics can supercharge knowledge-exchange.

Some are available to watch online. I've linked them in my bio as well.

Sometimes I write for grown-ups, for the @egu.eu Geolog, @geoscientistmag.bsky.social Magazine, or other science-y outlets. If you are curious, head over to the link in my bio to see some recent pieces I've published.

As well as for children's books, I enjoy illustrating science in other ways.

Here are a couple of examples: an educational card game, and a series of posters inspired by holidays through geological time.

Basically, any excuse to doodle ✏️✨😉

Currently I work as a researcher, but also have a side career as an author and illustrator.

I published my first children’s book, How the Earth Works (DK Books), in 2025.
It takes readers on a fascinating journey of discovery into the inner workings of our planet.

My academic background is in geodynamics and structural geology. These days, I’m more of a computational geoscientist (somewhere between a geologist and a programmer).

Basically, I make rocks and code talk to each other (sort of).

HOLA! Have we not met yet? Let’s fix that 👩🏻

I’m Lucia, Earth Scientist and author-illustrator from the magical land of Galicia, currently based in Oxford, UK.

Here are a few things about me 🧵
#SciArt #Geoscience

Is science an exclusive club?
For much of the public, it sure must seem like that sometimes.

Let's change it!

Ps. It was not UNINA that made this event possible. It was a wonderful team of volunteers, that worked very hard despite the limited support from them ✨

It was quite a bit of work but it was worth it!!

Some new tectonic plate puzzles ready for my workshops at the Open House Festival in London this weekend 🤩

Now to wash all the paint mess I have made in the process 🥲

Thank you! 🥰

US friends! I'm back to shipping to the US after it's been confirmed that my products (paper goods) should not incur customs charges - phew! There is a small handling fee, but it's only 50 pence :)

Ps: calendar pre-orders close in a month!

🚨 Science-y family event alert! 🚨

For children 7-10, September 20th, at the Geological Society of London. Spaces are limited, and I hear that two of my four workshops are fully booked...so if you want to join me don't wait too long!!

YouTube video by The Geological Society Public Lecture - Lost in illustration: the art (and science) of communicating through graphics

Did you miss my @geolsoc.bsky.social Public Lecture? Well, it is now online! Watch it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwnQ...

Maybe one for the #SciArt feed peeps (and the #EarthScientists too!)

I’m so glad to hear! Thanks for sharing it 😊

Oh wow! … and I thought children’s books were worst offenders when it comes to describing anything to do with Earth’s interior…
