Christina from Northwestern Magazine got in touch with an assignment looking at a group of biomedical engineers who have developed a first-of-its-kind strategy that prevents cancer cells from evolving to resist therapies.

To accompany the article an illustration crossing the spread of the Discovery section was required. I came up with three possible interpretations, as shown here, the first of which was given the go-ahead.
