Matteo Farinella's peer-reviewed article "Of Microscopes and Metaphors: Visual Analogy as a Scientific Tool" has been published in The Comics Grid: Journal of Comics Scholarship, an academic journal dedicated to comics scholarship. The article focuses on the use of visual metaphors, such as those found in comics, and their potential to explain complex scientific phenomena. 

"This article draws an analogy between microscopes and an imaginary metaphorical apparatus, in order to explore the potential (and limitations) of visual metaphors in scientific research."
