Scientific Illustration

I know, it's not a question. This time I am writing just to show you something fun that I learned about today. Today I learned about scientific illustrators. This is a career that involves drawing pictures of things like animals and plants and rocks so that we can understand them better. Remember when we drew a picture of our seed sprouting and labeled the shoot and the root and the cotyledons? Like that, except with everything, not just seeds. Here are some links and some great examples of world-class scientific illustration.
