About Scienz & Lives

Biotech is serious. The people in it are brilliant. The reality? Often completely ridiculous.

About a year ago, I had an idea. Not for a pitch. Not for a whitepaper. Not for a podcast.

But for a comic: Scienz & Lives.

I wanted something that captured the real experience of working in this strange industry, the tension between science, business, and regulatory chaos. The endless debates over breakthrough data and slide formatting. The cognitive dissonance of explaining a therapeutic platform to investors while still trying to get cell viability above 80%.

It started as a joke. Then it became a sketch. Then it became something I couldn’t let go of.

I built and rebuilt the characters. Defined what they should look like, and more importantly, what they shouldn’t. I refined expressions. Argued with myself over lab coat length. Designed and scrapped sprite sheets. Fixed head-to-body ratios. Spent an unreasonable amount of time measuring the vertical padding between hair and face. (It’s 18%. Non-negotiable.)

One of them doesn’t have a nose. That was intentional too.

What It’s Really About

Scienz & Lives is not just a comic. It’s a lens. A dry, satirical take on what it means to innovate in a world full of half-finished data, over-polished decks, and strategic ambiguity. It’s the startup life, distilled into punchlines.

If you’ve ever stayed up fixing a Gantt chart instead of your protocol, this comic is for you.

If you’ve ever tried to explain your value proposition in a sentence and ended up writing a novel, this comic is for you.

And if you’ve ever felt the thrill of funding followed by the terror of actually having to deliver, you’ll feel right at home here.

Why Now?

After countless tweaks, rewrites, and late-night bursts of clarity, I decided to launch Scienz & Lives the only way that felt right: quietly, and with a wink.

The first edition? An Easter special, handed out with our 3D-printed eggs for clients. Yes, really. Because biotech deserves its own inside joke. And maybe, its own therapy session.

So here it is. Not perfect. Not mass-marketed. But built with love, precision, and just enough sarcasm to keep us all sane.

Welcome to Scienz & Lives.
Let’s make fun of something real.
