Communicating Science through Art. Victorias Cells Project

Vittoria Lombardo I.

The Specific Objective ictoria's cells project was created from the idea of easier training of healthcare personnel and facing theoretical and practical aspects of improving communication. This innovative method allows one to associate benign and malignant cellular images and/or patterns characterized by a wide range of shapes and color shades, evoking animals, common objects, and colorful aquariums with features easily memorized by analogy under the microscope. The project implies different sections subclassified using different iconography able to draw the viewer's interest and easily memorize the cytological interpretations and describe practical interventions to promote effective communication in cancer screening with different, new, and interactive information tools.

# Results

The images are visual of the impact that communicate and educate about the importance of studying cells and their diagnostic role and significance, in order to bring the population closer to prevention. The pictures can be organized into different sections, embracing diagnostic iconography.
