Animated illustration for Tom Chivers' BuzzFeed article 'We Know Almost Nothing About How Study Drugs Are Used By Students.' I made a desktop (wide) and mobile (narrow) version, seen here. The illustration shows someone in an endless time loop, as the piece discusses how students use 'study drugs' to work far longer hours than their bodies would otherwise allow. I also did the text/editorial design for this article.

"Despite the headlines warning of an 'explosion' in students taking drugs like Ritalin and Adderall, their prevalence – and their risks – remains a scientific black spot."
