Promotional graphic for an SWCC blog post by Jax Jacobsen. Text reads: "Our world is changing. Our journalism needs to change too. Now that we've surpassed the 1.5°C Paris limit, science journalists and communicators can no longer treat climate as a sidebar — even in stories that seem unrelated to the environment." A photo shows industrial smokestacks silhouetted against an orange sunset sky.

We've blown past 1.5°C. Climate isn't a sidebar anymore — not in economics, not in trade, not anywhere. Read our newest blog on how journalists can evolve: lean on IEA/IPCC risk data and redefine objectivity for the emergency we're in.

Jubilee credits her upbringing with how she became interested in science and communication. “Being homeschooled until my undergraduate, I was able to tailor my education to focus heavily on the sciences, teaching myself by interacting directly with the world and asking questions constantly.”

She also acted as a teacher and translator for her older sister, who has speech apraxia, which instilled an appreciation for creative education and clear, audience-centred communication. “She inspires me to translate complex biological systems into accessible visual language.”

When Jubilee discovered the field of SciArt during her undergraduate degree at Redeemer University, she focused her academics and extracurriculars in art and biology to develop the skills necessary to become a scientific illustrator.

“Science can sometimes feel abstract and inaccessible, but understanding the textures, form, and structure that lie hidden in the data, theory, and systems gives life to that abstraction.”

A medical diagram. At the top of the image is the title “Retrobulbar Hematoma, A Visual Guide” in white text on a blue rectangular background. Below the title is a drawn image of two eyes with blue irises. The eye on the left is healthy (unaffected eye), while the eye on the right is red and inflamed (affected eye). Five text boxes surround the image. The first text box has an arrow pointing to the red/purple skin around the eye and reads “Causes: Blunt orbital trauma can be confused with only bruising from trauma at early stages, check for proptosis”. A small diagram to the right overtop of the image depicts proptosis (displacement of the eye” and shows a cross section of two eyeballs within the head, one unaffected and one demonstrating proptosis in which a hematoma in the retrobulbar space presses on the optic nerve and causes the eyeball to protrude out of the head. The next text box beneath reads “Management: Lateral canthotomy procedure to remove pressure in the eye and supportive medication”. The third text box reads “Signs: Proptosis and blood vessel rupture in the conjunctiva”. The fourth text box reads “Symptoms: Vision loss, pain, pressure”. The final text box reads “Diagnose with: intraocular pressure (IOP) and CT scan”. At the bottom of the diagram on the left is the artist’s credit “Victoria Visser Visuals” and at the right is a list of two references used to create the diagram: “Andredi CM, Gardiner MF. Overview of eye injuries in the emergency department. In: UpToDate, Sorrey SB, Jacobs DS, Ganetsky M (Ed), Wolters Kluwer. (Accessed on November 5, 2025)” and “WikiEm contributors. Orbital trauma.

A medical diagram. At the top of the image is the title “Components of the Arrow Quickflash Arterial Catheter” in black text on a white rectangular background. Below the title is a diagram depicting the medical device (a long grey syringe-like device) with four labels to identify each component. The first label points to the needle and reads “Needle with windows to confirm successful arterial puncture”. The next label points to a small black piece at the bottom of the device and reads “Lever to advance guidwire”. The next label points to a white catheter and reads “Catheter with hydrophilic coating for easy advancement and ‘wings’ for securement”. The final label points to a wire within the long grey tube in between the needle and lever and reads “Advanceable guidewire (in red) to guide the catheter into the artery”. There is a zoomed in image of the guidewire next to this label. At the bottom of the diagram on the left is small text that reads “Based on the arterial catheter by Teleflex Incorporated” and on the right is the artist’s name “Victoria Visser”.

A medial diagram depicting radial arterial line insertion. There are six panels of images, three on the top and three on the bottom. The first panel shows the catheter insertion device (a long grey syringe-type device with a white catheter component) with the text “For continuous blood pressure monitoring and acquisition during a code” and the text “Based on Arrow Quickflash Arterial Catheter” at the bottom with the artist’s name “Victoria Visser”. The second panel shows an outstretched arm with the palm faced up with the catheter insertion device angled 30° to 40° towards the wrist area and the text “identify radial artery via ultrasound and insert needle at a 30° - 40° angle”. The third panel shows a zoomed in picture of the catheter at the top with the text “The catheter is near the end of the needle…” at the top and an image of the needle entering the artery in the arm with the text “...so it can enter the artery with the needle” at the bottom. The fourth panel shows a person holding the catheter insertion device and guiding the catheter wire into the artery with the text “Hold catheter steady where it enters and advance guidewire using black handle”. The fifth panel shows the person moving the catheter along the arm with the text “Advance catheter manually so it will follow the guidewire and pull needle out to attach line”. There is a side image close up of the artery and needle showing the needle damaging the arterial walls with an X over the image and the text “Needle needs to be pulled out so that it does not disrupt the other arterial walls”. The sixth panel shows the catheter in place in the arm and the text says “The catheter line is taped into place and the line wraps around the patient’s thumb”. A final text box reads “Now: Sample collection and blood pressure measured more accurately than blood pressure cuffs”.
