30 years ago I got my PhD using the VLA to study dark matter. Today I designed a series of posters for @thenrao.bsky.social including the VLA where I show the images their data create. Check the comment for the podcast about this work. #art #astronomy

Lignin chemistry!! I’ve drawn a line tree with the lignin polymer behind it. I’ve drawn it as one single polymer throughout! This messy, highly irregular biopolymer gives plants structural strength and helps protect their cell walls. #sciart #chemsky

The image was taken without attribution from this sculpture by artist Jack of the Dust (jackofthedust.com), who is probably unaware that his work is being used by far-right politicians. In case you want to buy me a present or need any Halloween ideas, check it out.

It’s political ad season, which apparently means depicting your opponent as a Death Snail because she doesn’t believe in unfettered economic growth. As a professional death snail scientist, let me say that this unironically makes her look cool and hardcore.

I noticed that I've had a semi-circle theme going on for the past few pieces. Fall season, pumpkin pies, watermelon slices, what do YOU think it could mean? Which one of these 4 is your favorite?

Excited to share our new preprint "A cross-tissue splicing signature as a quantitative biomarker for ReNU syndrome" tinyurl.com/RENUsig Led by super⭐ duo @ruebenadawes.bsky.social @alexblakes.bsky.social We show that just 6 alternative 5'splice site events perfectly predict ReNU syndrome 🧬 🧵 1/4

A panel of 4 plots.
Top left: a bar plot of LASSO coefficients for the six 5' splice site events chosen by the model.
Top right: Box plots showing the LASSO predicted probability of case status for controls compared to ReNU cases across whole-blood and lymphocyte cohorts, for training and test samples. P(case) for ReNU samples are significantly greater than controls.
Bottom left: schematics of the six alternative 5' splice site events.
Bottom right: Box plots showing significant changes in expression for two of the implicated genes, STX16 and RPS15A.

Finished the brain and I already have a frame - now just need to do the background #SciArt #FiberArt

Kinusaiga (tucked fabric) style brain with a tree inside of it. Lots of different greens with blue sky poking through, brown trunk and branches and a root system inside the cerebellum - background is unfinished and it is setting inside a gold painted frame

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness month. ~1 in 4 pregnancies end in loss (~1 in 2 if you're in your 40s). US infant mortality is around ~5.3-5.6 per 1000 live births. Miss you forever Benji.

A view of the International Space Station floating in the stars above the earth. A cat in a space suit floats outside. An astronaut within the station looks out of a window and says "In? But I just let you out."

Omw back to spooky school 📚🧡 #art #cats

A warm drawing of a black cat wearing a witch hat and dressed in a coat and patchwork scarf. They sit atop an old-fashioned suitcase and hold a book and wand, with a stack of books beside them and a broom leaning against the case. Sunflowers and a signpost with a wagon symbol on it frame the background as they watch for their ride back to school.

Absolute banger today from @aemccarthy.bsky.social on how Tabasco became the world's default hot sauce, and the consequences of that. Come for mysterious backstories, stay to argue about which hot sauce is actually the best. www.weareravenous.com/how-tabasco-...

How Tabasco Accidentally On Purpose Became the World's Hot Sauce

The hot sauce made in Louisiana can now be found all over the globe. How it got there is complicated.

My neighbors don’t eat pork and received a food delivery order filled with pork by accident (mis-delivery). So now I have free food for the next 2-3 meals. This is the power of making your neighbors cinnamon rolls.

early-career academics, if you don't have a website, make yourself one. yes it's annoying but just do it it can be plain text on a white background, or google sites, or even a free Wix one with ads. nobody cares we just need to be able to look you up, quickly, bc there's like 100 other apps here
