hello!

Yay, you’ve found Soft Things—comics about science, research, and being human. Also, joy.

Soft things are important, even when times are easy-breezy.

Wondering what I mean by soft things? Check this out.

a little about me

I’m Cara Gormally. I’m a nerd at heart. And I’m here for joy and realness.

I’m Cara Gormally, a cartoonist, biology professor, morning person, and runner.

In no particular order, I love chocolate, comics about serious stuff, non-dairy ice cream with a coconut base (shout-out to Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream), meditation,

long talks with my friends, yoga, dancing without any skill at all, and yoga. Oh, and deep dives into research.

Take a breath with me. Breathing is a soft thing.

Thanks for joining me here in this tiny corner of the internet.
