In this episode, Dr. John Chilton talks with Helen Osborne about:

• How visual storytelling, cartoons, and humor can be used to communicate complex concepts in hematology and biomedical science without trivializing the underlying science, and why communication is central to teaching and research.
• His transdisciplinary journey from laboratory research to teaching, illustration, and digital modeling, and how blending art, science, and narrative helps learners better understand blood cells, disease processes, and three-dimensional biological structures.
• The role of the humanities in science and medicine, including how creativity supports learning, empathy, and professional identity, and why embracing artistic passions can enrich medical education, clinical understanding, and personal well-being.
