Dear subscribers (especially those who are French-speaking!), In 2019, we decided to turn several of the Protein Spotlight articles into comic strips. I did this with the Geneva-based comic strip artist, aloys lolo, whose style seemed perfect for the demanding world of molecular biology. As the comic strips were created, they were published here every two months : www.proteinspotlight.org/comicshttp://www.proteinspotlight.org/comics Today, almost five years later, an enthusiastic small publishing house based in Lausanne (Switzerland) - Antipodes - said that they would love to make a book out of the strips. The book has just come out! It is beautifully crafted and you can see what it looks like here: www.antipodes.ch/produit/la-vie-lamour-la-mort-les-proteineshttp://www.antipodes.ch/produit/la-vie-lamour-la-mort-les-proteines The response has been wonderful so far in the regional media. For the time being, however, it is only in French (available online as well as in bookshops in French-speaking countries). This said, we're looking into having it published in English. Any suggestions are welcome... If you do happen to acquire a copy of the book, please tell us what you think about it. I'd be very intrigued to know. All the very best Vivienne Baillie Gerritsen ___________________________ Vivienne Baillie Gerritsen SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics Swiss-Prot Group/ Senior Science Writer www.proteinspotlight.org www.proteinspotlight.org/comics www.uniprot.org
