Bio-Medical Illustration and Scientific Communication
THE DRAWING SCIENTIST
knowledge through images
scientific communication
by a scientist
tailor-made
accessible to all audiences
Are you a biotechnological company, healthcare professional, research laboratory, a cultural organisation or a museum working in the fields of biology, medicine or pharmacology?
As both a scientist and an illustrator, I’m the facilitator who can turn your concepts into images.
my portfolio
Computer graphics, diagrams for scientific articles, illustrations for books and scientific publications, covers for newspapers, visuals for social networks.
But also logo and web design, branding and design of educational games.
She quickly grasped our request – designing animal illustrations representing different taxonomic classes – and helped us refine our needs, delivering results that perfectly met, and even exceeded, our expectations.
On top of that, she suggested ways to integrate the illustrations into the final figure for an even better presentation.
Her work is both fast and of high-quality, and we won’t hesitate to collaborate with her again in the future.”

This type of creation is ideal for publications aimed at a children’s audience or those who like the charm of “handmade”.
Write to me about your project and we will discuss it together!
“Veronica a réalisé un travail remarquable dans le cadre de la mise à jour des panneaux de notre exposition sur le cerveau.
Ses illustrations à l’aquarelle sont à la fois esthétiques, claires et scientifiquement justes.
C’est certain qu’elles plairont au public, aux petits comme aux grands ! Je recommande ! “
Manon Peschoux, S[cube], Scientipôle Savoirs et Societé, France
“Le collectif LCD explore des projets Art et Science pour parler des cellules à divers publics.
Nous avons fait appel à Veronica pour dessiner et aquareller en direct la pièce de théâtre sur les cellules.
La préparation de l’action a été facilité par les connaissances scientifiques de Veronica et par sa capacité d’interagir avec les différents intervenants.
Dessiner en direct et en présence des spectateurs est un exercice difficile que Veronica a très bien réussi.
Ses aquarelles artistiques et scientifiques nous permettront d’illustrer le texte de la pièce lors de sa publication. “

The Drawing Scientist, where science and art come into contact
My name is Veronica La Padula and I’m the artist and scientist behind The Drawing Scientist.
With over 10 years’ experience in biomedical research, a PhD in neuroscience and a specialist in cell biology and microscopy, I’ve always been interested in the visual aspect of science. I created images for my scientific papers, posters and lectures, with the aim of making the information I wanted to convey accessible to all those who were unfamiliar with the subject I was dealing with.
With the aim of becoming more professional in scientific illustration and mastering graphic design software, I obtained a diploma in Computer Graphics and Web Design.
As both a scientist and a graphic designer, I’m on the borderline between the worlds of art and science.
I’ll enhance your projects by creating original, informative, interesting and polished scientific illustrations or by designing bespoke websites to raise awareness of your scientific research work.

my values
I strongly believe that disseminating scientific knowledge can improve people’s quality of life, by giving them the tools to observe objectively, reason critically and ask the right questions to explore the world.
Together, we can create and develop innovative ways of communicating science.
accuracy
Scientific rigour is reflected in my concern to respect the exactness of scientific data: I will not take artistic liberties just “to look good”.
culture
Cell biology, neuroscience and microscopy are my favourite fields, but my scientific culture in general will be at the service of your visual communication.
dialogue
I speak English, French and Italian, but above all the universal language of science.
I love learning from experts in a wide variety of scientific fields.
I’ll be asking you lots of questions to help develop the project.
