Wamoyo: momwe Veronica Falconieri Hays amaphatikiza zojambulajambula ndi mankhwala

Mwezi watha, biomedical illustrator ndi animator Veronica Falconieri Hays adapereka ulaliki wapadera pawonetsero wa Maxon's NAB, pokambirana momwe amagwiritsira ntchito Cinema 4D powonera ma cell ndi ma cell pofufuza, biotechnology ndi makasitomala azogulitsa mankhwala. Patsamba lake, https://falconierivisuals.com, mutha kuwona "chojambula chowoneka bwino cha protein yayikulu ya SARS-CoV-2 kwa ojambula azachipatala". Posachedwapa tidalankhula naye kuti tiphunzire zambiri za gawo lochititsa chidwi la makanema ojambula azachipatala komanso mwayi womwe gawoli limapereka kwa iwo omwe ali ndi chidwi chophatikiza chikondi chawo cha makanema ojambula ndi sayansi ndi zamankhwala.

Makanema Makanema: Kodi mungatiuze mwachidule za chidwi chanu pa makanema ojambula pamanja komanso momwe mudalowera mu gawo la makanema ojambula pachipatala?

Veronica: Nthawi zonse ndimakonda sayansi ndi luso ndipo ndinali ndi mwayi wophunzira kusukulu ya sekondale kuti panali ntchito yomwe imakhudza onse awiri. Ndinaphunzira za biology ndi luso monga undergraduate kenako ndinapeza digiri yanga ya master mu mafanizo a zamankhwala ku Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Monga owonetsa ambiri azachipatala, makanema ojambula ndi gawo la ntchito yomwe ndimagwira, makamaka ndikawona mbali yaying'ono ya biology yomwe ndi yovuta kuwona: ma cell, mamolekyu ndi ma virus.

Kodi ndi zida ziti zotsatsira zomwe mumagwiritsa ntchito nthawi zambiri pantchito yanu?

Ndimagwiritsa ntchito kwambiri Maxon Cinema 4D (ndi Python's Integrated Molecular View [ePMV] plugin) ndi Adobe After Effects pa ntchito yanga yojambula.

Zachidziwikire, aliyense ali ndi nkhawa ndi kachilombo ka COVID-19 lero. Kodi mungatiuze za kutenga nawo mbali kwanu pakuwonera ma protein a spike? Zinatenga nthawi yayitali bwanji kupanga? Zovuta zanu za polojekitiyi zinali zotani?

Ndidapanga fanizo la "SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein: Structure and Pre-fusion Processing" lachifanizo changa chachipatala ndi makanema ojambula pagulu la Association of Medical Illustrators (AMI). Sayansi yokhudzana ndi SARS-CoV-2 (kachilombo kamene kamayambitsa COVID-19) ndiyovuta ndipo ikusintha mwachangu pomwe ofufuza amapikisana kuti adziwe. Anzanga ku AMI ayambitsa chikalata chofanana ndi wiki kuti tigawane kafukufuku wathu. Ndinaona kuti n’zothandiza ndipo ndinkafuna kuthandizira zomwe ndinakumana nazo kuti ndithandize anzanga. Popeza ndili ndi chidziwitso chambiri chogwira ntchito ndi ma 3D mamolekyulu a XNUMXD, ndaganiza zofotokozera mwachidule sayansi yaposachedwa pa protein ya spike.

Ngakhale ndimafuna kupanga chojambula movutikira, gawo linayambitsidwa ndipo chidutswacho chidakhala infographic yonse. Zinatenga maola 27 kuti apange, omwe osachepera theka anali kafukufuku.

Kafukufukuyu wakhala wolimbikitsa kwambiri pankhaniyi chifukwa sayansi yambiri pa SARS-CoV-2 ikadali yatsopano ndipo pali mafunso ambiri otseguka. Ndikayesa kudziwa kuti kachilomboka kali bwanji, mwachitsanzo, ndidayenera kunena za maphunziro a SARS-CoV, msuweni wapamtima wa SARS-CoV-2 omwe adayambitsa mliri mu 2003.

Kodi zinthu zopindulitsa kwambiri ndi ziti pakupanga zithunzi / makanema ojambula ngati awa?

Makanema kapena zithunzi zilizonse zimasonyeza ntchito ya asayansi ambirimbiri amene amagwira ntchito maola ambiri kuti aphunzire zambiri za mmene biology imagwirira ntchito. Kupyolera mukuwona, nditha kupangitsa kufufuzako kukhala kwamoyo. Izi zimalola anthu ambiri kunena nkhani zomveka bwino za sayansi - ofufuza, makampani opanga mankhwala atsopano, zofalitsa zomasulira sayansi kwa anthu ambiri, ndi zina. Asayansi amapezanso kuti zimawathandiza kulingalira za kafukufuku wawo mogwira mtima komanso m'njira zatsopano.

Kodi kupita patsogolo kwaukadaulo kunakhudza bwanji ntchito yanu mukamaliza maphunziro?

Ndinayamba kuchita masewera olimbitsa thupi kusukulu yomaliza maphunziro mu 2013. Kuyambira nthawi imeneyo, chitukuko chokhazikika cha mapurosesa a GPU monga Redshift chakulitsa mitundu yosiyanasiyana ya machitidwe omwe ndimagwiritsa ntchito. Zida zowonetsera voliyumu ya Cinema 4D zidalinso bwino kwambiri popanga zinthu zambiri zachilengedwe.

Ngakhale ophunzira ambiri akanema amafunitsitsa kugwira ntchito yosangalatsa, ndi ochepa omwe amazindikira kuti kugwira ntchito yamakatuni azachipatala kungakhale ntchito yopindulitsa komanso yopindulitsa… Ndi upangiri wamtundu wanji womwe mungapatse kwa ophunzira omwe sangaganizire zaukadaulo waukadaulo?

Ngati muli mu sayansi ndi zaluso, makanema ojambula azachipatala angakhale abwino kwa inu. Mukufunika maziko olimba mu biology ndi mankhwala kuti muthe kupanga makanema ojambula olondola azachipatala, kapena muyenera kugwira ntchito ndi gulu lomwe lili ndi lusoli. Ngati mukufuna kupanga zomwe mwakumana nazo, onani maphunziro a biology omwe angakhale nawo. Association of Medical Illustrators (yomwe imaphatikizapo opanga makanema azachipatala) ili ndi chidziwitso chambiri cha njira zodziwika bwino zolowera m'munda patsamba lake (https://ami.org/medical-illustration/enter-the-profession).

Mukufuna kuwona zambiri? Onani reel ya Veronica Falconieri Hays ndi chiwonetsero chake chachipatala kuchokera ku NAB 2020 ndi Maxon Cinema 4D (pansipa).
