Real Scientists. Real Stories

Drawn to Discovery is an illustrated visual storytelling series that turns real scientific stories into inspiring mini-narratives for students, educators, communities, and anyone curious about science and the process of discovery

Empowering Stories in STEM

Drawn to Discovery is an illustrated storytelling project that centers the people behind scientific work.
Through comics and graphic interviews, we share real journeys in science: the questions, the detours, the failures, and the moments of discovery, to make science feel accessible, human, and engaging.

Our Mission

Science shapes our world, but the people who do it are often invisible, flattened into titles, or reduced to results

Drawn to Discovery was created to change that.

  • Discovery is driven by people, not just data

  • Stories are powerful tools for access, belonging, and learning

  • When students see themselves reflected in science, they stay

By pairing real conversations with engaging illustrations, we turn science into something fun and relatable, for students, educators, and curious minds everywhere.
