Welcome to the first edition of 202 5! Welcome to the Journal of Natural Science Illustration Volume 57, Number 1, 2025. Bea Martin opens the issue with her reflections on sketching in Alaska’s Kootznoowoo Wilderness, blending sustainability and deep observation. Kalliopi Monoyios, along with Kirsten Carlson, Taina Litwak, Tania Marien, and Fiona Martin, delivers a compelling argument for the power of visuals in climate communication and the vital role of visual science communicators in today’s world. Emma Regnier and Karin von May celebrate the creativity and precision of CSUMB’s 2024 science illustration graduates, while Stephen DiCerbo invites us to reconnect and learn at the upcoming Visual SciComm Conference. We also meet incoming GNSI president Deb Haines, profiled by Deborah K. Haines, whose career bridges medicine, veterinary science, and leadership.
