I am a Multimedia Specialist in the Public Affairs Office at the Commerce Department’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). I joined NIST in June 2020 with the goal of creating animations that would help NIST enhance its scientific storytelling. My team and I work with scientists, writers, and educators to visually communicate NIST’s research and findings in measurement science.
In May 2020, I graduated from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine with a master’s degree in medical and biological illustration. In the program, we were introduced to a multitude of ways to effectively tell stories in a scientific and medical context, from 3D animations to surgical illustrations to interactive modules. I loved the animation portion the best and focused my thesis on identifying the best practices of 2D animation to enhance learner responses.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) Two weeks before the pandemic hit, Ron-Shaye Clark got a call.
An Annapolis performing arts venue wanted to host her student production of “The Wiz.” She’d already put out the calls for auditions in January, chosen a cast and picked her co-director, an affable 14-year-old named Camarin “Peeboo” Wallace. Everything was coming together.
Patients, who had organ transplants, remain vulnerable to Covid-19 infections even after a second vaccine dose, finds a study that urges people who are immunocompromised to strictly adhere to wearing masks, and maintain physical distancing, even after vaccination. The study, led by researchers at Johns Hopkins University in the US, showed that after two doses of Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 the virus that causes Covid 19, just 54 per cent people who have received solid organ transplants produced sufficient antibodies. The findings are published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). Transplant recipients should not assume that two vaccine doses guarantee sufficient immunity against SARS-CoV-2 any more than it did after just one dose, said Dorry Segev, Professor of Surgery and Epidemiology at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.
