Two other illustrations were displayed at the Parallel Exhibition that took place in the São João da Madeira library during the Meeting.

    Borboletário is the live butterfly house at the botanical garden of the University of Lisbon. For the second time it hosted a 4-day science illustration workshop developed and instructed by me. In this edition participants used watercolor as the illustration medium and, as in the first edition, participants had access to the Borboletário’s educational collection of pinned and live specimens of adult butterflies and caterpillars. After the workshop, participants’ illustrations were on display at the Museum of Natural History and Science for one month and the exhibition was received by the public with praise.

    I wrote one chapter of the book inspired by the Exuberâncias da Caixa Preta exhibition. The exhibition was at the National Museum Soares dos Reis in Porto (Portugal) and regarded the work of Charles Darwin in his manuscript “The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals”. My contribution introduced the life and illustration work of Ramón y Cajal, prominent neuroscientist from the early 20th century. Download the book chapter ‘Scientific Illustration: Its Role In The Work Of Santiago Ramón Y Cajal’ from the Publications page.

    I was truly honored to be invited by the United Nations Postal Administration to design the 2012 edition of their ongoing Endangered Species Stamp series. This commemorative edition celebrating the 20th anniversary of the collection became available for sale in April and gathered a lot of attention, including an award for one of the illustrations! The ‘Elephant Eared Chameleon’ illustration was distinguished with the Judges’ Special Award at the ScienceOnline 2012 Art Show.

    The press coverage was extensive. The online newspaper P3 published an article, and so did the newspapers Boas Notícias and No Feminino-Negócios. The TV channels SIC and SIC Notícias broadcasted an interview recorded at the Lisbon Zoo about the invitation to the project and its development. The printed and online weekly magazine Visão also interviewed me in the context of an article about Scientific Illustration.
