Ok, so I made this tweet the other day.
The question was:
"You suddenly find yourself on-stage for your own TED Talk. With no prior planning, what's a topic you can discuss for 18 minutes?"
And my answer was:
"What makes comics such an effective teaching tool (for all kinds of topics!! From academic subjects to workable practices!) and how to translate raw text information into communicative images that represent the specific points being made."
And that got me thinkin' about how I've actually BEEN MEANING to make some kind of instructional guide/lecture thing about how to make educational comics for, like, a million years.
I still don't know if I'll do it or not, but in the event that I do...
What's an informational block of text that you'd like to see comic-ified?

1) Paleobotany
2) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleobotany
3) Paleobotany, also spelled as palaeobotany, is the branch of botany dealing with the recovery and identification of plant remains from geological contexts, and their use for the biological reconstruction of past environments (paleogeography), and the evolutionary history of plants, with a bearing upon the evolution of life in general. A synonym is paleophytology. It is a component of paleontology and paleobiology. The prefix palaeo- means "ancient, old",[1] and is derived from the Greek adjective παλαιός, palaios.[2] Paleobotany includes the study of terrestrial plant fossils, as well as the study of prehistoric marine photoautotrophs, such as photosynthetic algae, seaweeds or kelp. A closely related field is palynology, which is the study of fossilized and extant spores and pollen.
I don't promise to actually follow through on this, but at least it'll be cool to see a sampling of interesting subjects from you folks :3 And- who knows! -maybe I will follow through! Wouldn't that be cool??? What a beautiful dream...
