Cameron started his scientific visualization career as Science Magazine’s primary scientific illustrator in late 2000, producing illustrations and covers for the journal and animations for its online presence. Three years later, he began his Masters in Medical Illustration from Augusta University Health and continued to provide illustration and animation to the periodicals Science and Nature. After graduating in 2005, Cameron and Olivia founded Microverse Studios under its original name, Cosmocyte. Since then Microverse Studios has produced award-winning animations for multi-billion-dollar pharmaceutical corporations, educational institutions, biotech startups, and produced scientific graphics for documentary TV series for Discovery, National Geographic, and the History Channel. Cameron has given numerous talks on methods and techniques for scientific animation and story structure as applied to mechanism of action and mechanism of disease narratives for the Association of Medical Illustrators, Guild of Natural Science Illustrators, the Public Relations Society of America, and numerous universities in the US and abroad. Cameron lives in Northeast Florida and strives to bring an air of respectability to the term “Florida Man.”
