S.V.
Medaris has illustrated and designed The
Why Files since September, 1999. TWF is an illustrated, weekly,
online science magazine dedicated to bringing "the science
behind the news" to it's readers. The stories are fact-checked
by scientists, easy and fun to read, and colorfully illustrated
to make them visually interesting, light-hearted, and educational.
At right: some of the many whimsical and
educational graphics created by S.V. Medaris for The Why Files.
