About
To bring close the scientific context to broader communities, & highlight the diversity of the microbial world and the people who research them.
I specialize in the creation and design of compelling visual content for scientific outreach initiatives and academic publications. In this way, Microbiale offers visual creative solutions for research-related audiences. Besides, this is a safer space, where I, Ale Garin-Fernandez (they/he), can share scicomm and sciart explorations.

through engaging visuals.
Values
Vision
To build the bridge between science and society by visual communication. Through attractive visual formats, researchers and academics can translate their findings to share to different members of society, inside and outside academia.
Mission
To offer creative solutions to communicate and share scientific knowledge through visual stories. By the creative and novelty value, Microbiale is focused to be a referent in visually attractive science with their own authentic identity. Specially focused on each your necessities, I will explore effective ways to enhance the impact and reach of scientific research, which includes scicomm, sciart, peer-to-peer publications and presentations.
Principles
Microbiale is established by the principles of diversity and empathy within social minority groups, integration, inclusivity, and accessibility. Likewise, transdisciplinary, collaboration, co-creation, constant learning and respect to local knowledge are key aspects, as well as valuing sustainability and responsibility with the ecosystem.
Creative visual solutions from scientist to scientist,
grounded in transdisciplinarity and intersectionality
From scientist
to scientist
My firsthand experience
in paper publication,
project proposal design,
and the successful implementation
of scicomm initiatives,
allows me to understand
your unique requirements
and provide proactive,
realistic solutions
Transdisciplinarity
My work fosters a
non-hierarchical,
horizontal dialogue
between science and art.
My experience in self-organized and artistic projects,
allows me to create transdisciplinary projects
and innovative products
that stand out for their uniqueness
Intersectionality
The authenticity and distinct identity of my work
are shaped by my personal experiencesas a member of social minority groups
(LGBTQA+, migrant,
Indigenous/Person of Color)
I actively advocate for broader inclusivity and accessibility, which refreshes and distinguishes my scicomm scope
Location
Based in Bremen, Germany
My work is in close contact with Garabatos Atelier, a queer collective working in a variety of artistic fields, and everyday I learn and got inspired by them. In addition, there you can find some of my products and really interesting workshops! Check our instagram account to know our opening times and further activities.
Furthermore, you don’t need to be in Bremen to work together. We can contact online and work together in Spanish, German and English. You can fill a contact form or a quotation request to get in contact!

Sciart is the transdisciplinary connection between science and arts.
Scicomm is the abbreviation for science communitation, a field that includes scientific outreach and scientific literacy, among others.
STEAM+ is the acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics and related fields.
