Jaye Gardiner loves comic books and she also loves science.Sensing an opportunity,she decided to combine the two.

In2015,she and her two friends,Khoa Tran and Kelly Montgomery,founded an online publishing company called JKX Comics.They decided to use a cartoon format and light humor to explain science to students.Their first comic book came out in2016.

In the book,a virus goes out with friends to a human cell.The colorful visuals help illustrate the science,explains Train.Through comics,his JKX coworkers hope to inspire the next generation to pursue STEM.STEM is short for science,technology,engineering and math.

A lot of research has suggested that comic books can introduce a variety of people to science ics can also make information more accessible.Text,pictures and stories can help people understand scientific ideas more easily.

Their latest comic is called"Gilbert's Glitch Switch."It is about a biochemist named Gilbert who gets sucked into a video game.Gilbert uses amino acids to get proteins to communicate with each other.Proteins are an essential part of all living organisms.They form the basis of living cells, muscle and tissues;they also do the work inside of cells.

By understanding how proteins communicate,scientists can learn how to modify them to interact better.Certain diseases develop when proteins communicate incorrectly.Alzheimer's,a disorder that causes brain cells to die,is one example.

Translating a complex science topic into a comic can be challenging.The creators have to not only be accurate but also tell a story that interests readers.The aat1.ors hope to spark readers' curiosity.
