Ngokubukhoma: iVeronica Falconieri Hays ihlanganisa kanjani ubuciko nezokwelapha
Ngenyanga edlule, i-biomedical illustrator kanye ne-animator Veronica Falconieri Hays wethula isethulo esikhethekile embukisweni we-NAB ka-Maxon we-NAB, exoxa ngokusetshenziswa kwakhe kwe-Cinema 4D ekubukeni ngeso lengqondo kwamangqamuzana ocwaningo, i-biotechnology kanye namaklayenti ekhemisi. Esizeni sakhe, https://falconierivisuals.com, ungabona "umdwebi obonakalayo wephrotheni eliphakeme le-SARS-CoV-2 labadwebi bezithombe zezokwelapha". Sisanda kukhuluma naye ukuze sifunde kabanzi mayelana nenkundla ethokozisayo yopopayi bezokwelapha kanye namathuba lo mkhakha awunikeza labo abathanda ukuhlanganisa uthando lwabo lopopayi nesayensi nemithi.
Umagazini Wopopayi: Ungasitshela kafushane mayelana nentshisekelo yakho kuzithombe ezinyakazayo nokuthi ungene kanjani endimeni yopopayi bezokwelapha?
I-Veronica: Bengilokhu ngithanda kokubili isayensi nezobuciko futhi ngaba nenhlanhla yokufunda esikoleni esiphakeme ukuthi kwakukhona umsebenzi owawuhilela bobabili. Ngafunda ibhayoloji nezobuciko njenge-undergraduate ngase ngithola iziqu ze-master in illustration yezokwelapha e-Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Njengabadwebi abaningi bezithombe zezokwelapha, ukugqwayiza kuyingxenye yomsebenzi engiwenzayo, ikakhulukazi uma ngibona ngeso lengqondo uhlangothi oluncane lwesayensi yezinto eziphilayo okunzima ukulibona: amaseli, ama-molecule namagciwane.
Imaphi amanye amathuluzi opopayi ovamise ukuwasebenzisa emsebenzini wakho?
Ngokuyinhloko ngisebenzisa i-Maxon Cinema 4D (ene-plugin ye-Python's Integrated Molecular View [ePMV]) kanye ne-Adobe After Effects ngomsebenzi wami wokugqwayiza.
Kunjalo, wonke umuntu ukhathazekile ngegciwane le-COVID-19 namuhla. Ungasitshela ngokuzibandakanya kwakho ekuboneni amaprotheni e-spike? Kuthathe isikhathi esingakanani ukudala? Iziphi izinselelo zakho eziqondile zale phrojekthi?
Ngidale umfanekiso othi "SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein: Structure and Pre-fusion Processing" ngomfanekiso wami wezokwelapha kanye nopopayi engisebenza nabo ku-Association of Medical Illustrators (AMI). Isayensi nge-SARS-CoV-2 (igciwane elibangela i-COVID-19) iyinkimbinkimbi futhi ibuyekezwa ngokushesha njengoba abacwaningi beqhudelana ukuze bayithole. Ozakwethu kwa-AMI baqale incwadi eyireferensi efana ne-wiki ukuze sabelane ngocwaningo lwethu. Ngakuthola kuwusizo futhi ngangifuna ukunikela ngolwazi lwami ukuze ngisize ozakwethu. Njengoba nginolwazi olunzulu lokusebenza nezinhlaka zamangqamuzana e-3D, nginqume ukufingqa ngeso lengqondo isayensi yakamuva ye-spike protein.
Nakuba ngangihlose ukwenza umdwebo ongemuhle oyisithenjwa, isici sethulwa futhi ucezu lwaba i-infographic egcwele. Kuthathe amahora angama-27 ukudala, okungenani ingxenye yawo bekuwucwaningo.
Lolu cwaningo belulokhu lukhuthaza kakhulu kuleli cala ngoba isayensi eningi ku-SARS-CoV-2 iseyintsha futhi kunemibuzo eminingi evulekile. Ngenkathi ngizama ukuthola ukuthi lonke leli gciwane lalinjani, ngokwesibonelo, kwadingeka ngibhekise ezifundweni ze-SARS-CoV, umzala oseduze we-SARS-CoV-2 owadala ukuqubuka kodlame ngo-2003.
Yiziphi izici ezizuzisa kakhulu zokudala imifanekiso yezokwelapha / opopayi njengalezi?
Noma imuphi upopayi noma umfanekiso ubonisa umsebenzi wososayensi abangenakubalwa abasebenza amahora amaningi ukuze bafunde okwengeziwe ngendlela isayensi yezinto eziphilayo esebenza ngayo. Ngokubona ngeso lengqondo, ngingakwazi ukwenza lolo phenyo luphile. Lokhu kuvumela abantu abaningi ukusho izindaba zesayensi ezicacile - abacwaningi, izinkampani ezakha imithi emisha, ukushicilela okuhumushela isayensi izethameli eziningi, nokunye. Ososayensi nabo bavame ukuthola ukuthi kubasiza ukuthi bacabange ngocwaningo lwabo ngempumelelo nangezindlela ezintsha.
Ukuthuthuka kobuchwepheshe kube nomthelela kanjani emsebenzini wakho ngemuva kokuthweswa iziqu?
Ngaqala ukugqwayiza esikoleni esineziqu ngo-2013. Kusukela lapho, ukuthuthukiswa okuqhubekayo kwamaphrosesa we-GPU afana ne-Redshift kunwebe ububanzi bezitayela zokunikeza engizisebenzisayo. Amathuluzi okumodela ivolumu yeCinema 4D nawo abe impumelelo egcwele ekudaleni izakhiwo eziningi eziphilayo.
Nakuba abafundi abaningi bezopopayi befisa ukusebenza kwezokungcebeleka, bambalwa abaqaphelayo ukuthi ukusebenza kwezopopayi zezokwelapha kungaba umsebenzi onomvuzo futhi onenzuzo… Hlobo luni lweseluleko ongalunikeza abafundi abangeke bacabangele ngokuzenzakalelayo umkhakha wopopayi bezokwelapha?
Uma ukukho kokubili isayensi nezobuciko, ukugqwayiza kwezokwelapha kungase kukulungele. Ngokuqinisekile udinga isisekelo esiqinile kubhayoloji nemithi ukuze ukwazi ukwenza izithombe ezinyakazayo zezokwelapha, noma udinga ukusebenzisana nethimba elinaleli sethi lamakhono. Uma ungathanda ukuthuthukisa ulwazi lwakho, hlola ukuthi yiziphi izifundo zebhayoloji ezingakutholela zona. I-Association of Medical Illustrators (okuhlanganisa abapopayi bezokwelapha) inolwazi oluhle ngezindlela ezivamile zokungena emkhakheni kuwebhusayithi yayo (https://ami.org/medical-illustration/enter-the-profession).
