Comics for public genomics

Scientists can translate complex, politically sensitive genomics findings into graphic‑novel form to reach broader publics, shape framing, and preempt misinterpretation. Turning a technical paper (Abdel Abdellaoui et al.) into an illustrated comic helps explain socio‑genetic feedback and the history of eugenics to non‑specialists. — If researchers increasingly use accessible visual narratives, the public framing of contentious science (e.g., genetics and social outcomes) will shift, altering policy debates and reducing space for bad‑faith distortion.
