Another highlight: For the first time in its history, San Diego Comic-Con had its own #STEAM engagement room where we ran an immersive experience called Mission Control with people enjoying hands-on science experiments for their 'astronaut training'. Hope to take this to the next level in 2027!

A common metaphor to describe cellular signaling pathways is an electronic circuit board, which sums up positive and negative input signals and transmits them to the output, which determines entry into mitosis. This is based on a realistic schematic that would be functional when built!

Beata Science Art @beatascienceart.bsky.social · 23/06/2025

Very excited to share my brand new 'Cell Cycle Circuit' drawing! It shows a signaling circuit that regulates mitotic entry in fission yeast, where a protein complex (Cdc2/CDK1-Cyclin B) integrates both positive (Cdc25) and negative signals (Wee1 & Mik1/Myt1) to decide when to divide. #CellCycle2025
