Elia Sampò, Illustrator, San Francisco

Description

The cover of Chemical & Engineering News features an illustration related to long COVID. Against a teal background, the focal point is a dark, spiky shadow resembling the coronavirus. Several figures, depicted in a minimalist style, are positioned around this shadow, seemingly walking away from it. The figures are wearing what appears to be lab coats, suggesting they are scientists or medical professionals. The cover also includes the magazine's title, date, and headlines such as "The shadow of long COVID" and "Why is R&D walking away from the disease?" The overall mood is somber and reflective, hinting at the challenges and potential abandonment of research related to long COVID.
