#JimmyCarter led the eradication efforts against the Guinea worm, a debilitating parasitic worm. A few years ago, I stitched the worm emerging from a skin blister while being wound onto a stick, which is the traditional treatment. News links in comments. #sciart 🐡

For the many parasitologists in the starter packs who are malaria researchers, this post is for you! For the fiber art nerds: This was my third embroidery project and first try at thread painting. I was still very much a newbie lol! But I’m also still pretty happy with this one. #sciart 🐡

Photograph of an embroidery hoop with white fabric, depicting two red blood cells that infected with malaria ring stage trophozoites. One cell has one parasite and the other cell has two parasites. The red blood cells are shades of purple and the parasites are shown as semicircular structures with blue cytoplasm and two pink nuclei.

Here’s the mammary gland project in its new home, alongside a cell in anaphase and a neuromuscular junction. #sciart 🐡

I've posted this before but only in the other place, here is a mini mini quilt I made a while ago with some recently added embroidery. #sciart #anatomy

Picture shows a rectangular quilt that is dark grey with a red binding. The shape of the cerebral arterial circle (of Willis) has been exposed using reverse applique to show the background fabric which is shades of red. The shape of the brain has been added in cream and the cranial nerves leaving the brainstem in bright yellow. The intended effect is to show a rough diagram outlined on a chalkboard background, as might be used teaching anatomy.

Duct system for the non-lactating side is finished. All that’s left is the lactating side. I’d originally thought about putting in adipose tissue but I’m not sure now. Thoughts? #sciart 🐡
