Much less artistic, but here’s the ABC of microbiology I made 3 years ago. I was annoyed that commercially available ones focus on pathogens and immunology. nebula.wsimg.com/bf929d050fcd...

Ankita Priyadarshini (Parul University, India): “Pseudomonas putida and Pseudomonas fluorescens can't digest phthalate plasticizers alone, but together they form a resilient team that can do what no single microbe could!”Suchandra Gupta (SGT University, India): “Staphylococcus epidermidis is my favourite microbe because it shows that our relationship with microbes is built on cooperation, not conflict!”Moyinoluwa Akintunde (Aalen University, Germany): “Streptomyces violaceoruber, a filamentous bacterium that changes its colour from blue-violet to reddish-purple, depending on its metabolic state.”Mariam Bhadmus (University of Huddersfield, UK): “Mycobacterium tuberculosis is fascinating as it outsmarts the immune system, hijacks host cells and turns the host into fuel for its survival.”

For the Day 13 diamond shape prompt of #SciArtSeptember I am sharing Marjorie Rice (née Jeuck, 1923–2017) who discovered 4 new pentagonal tilings of the Euclidian plane! 👩🏼‍🔬🧮🧪 #histsci The San Diego mother of 5 (6th died in infancy) completed half a correspondence art course after high school & had
My linocut portrait of Marjorie Rice with 4 groupings of her 4 pentagonal tiling patterns in pale orange, pink, purple and lime. Her shirt is a pattern of orange butterflies and white daisies on a dark green background. The pattern is based on the orange pentagonal tiling. She is shown in green with a background of yellow at her neckline to lime going up with lines and details overprinted in dark green. She is smiling at the viewer.

It’s #WorldSepsisDay. Here’s my liver #embroidery, tethered by fluid & ligaments (2023), with a close up of the beaded strictures in my biliary ducts & occasional liver abscesses that have hospitalized me with septicaemia multiple times. #SciArt #PSC
A red & purple organza liver on grey linen. The biliary system between the 2 layers is bilious green. A close up of the small lobe of the liver with small white beads on the top layer of organza represent abscesses, and round agate beads on the biliary ducts represent strictures. The text below it reads: fleshy beasts tethered. By fluid and ligaments. Such a gentle embrace. Beneath our skin.

Day 10 #SciArtSeptember: woad. My #SciArt #embroidery, cell map (2020), has some woad (blue/green) elements in the linen and in the stitching.
An embroidery of the diagram of a cell on blue linen. the details are in whites, blues, turquoise, burgundy, green, and deep orange. The labels are poetic text instead of scientific terms. From bottom right around to bottom left it reads: Pair of pleases. Chance it some. Chromatic & new to us (carries us some of the way) New to us. Chromatic nets. Please remember. Vacant. Reticent about apparent goals. The centre. Where sometimes we met. Two of us. Sector illustrating the firm approach to pleasure. Caring pleases. New to us. Remember. True newness (pleasure). Sector illustrating sides to where time ran and had pleasure.

SciArt September, Day 7: Woad. Woad is a plant that produces a blue dye. Since the prompts this first week are focused on color, I broadened my subject and went with a blue/green algae, or Cyanobacteria. This often produces toxic blooms on bodies of water. 🐡🎨 #woad #cyanobacteria

If you've used my drawn statement on Ai for a class or other Ed context – I'd appreciate learning a bit about that (here or directly), I'd like to document a bit of where it's ended up. And if it's new to you, feel free to make use of it, all online here! Tnx! spinweaveandcut.com/fall-2025-sy...
my statement on Ai from the mini-comic I'm making as syllabus for a new class I'm teaching this fall. It's simple, but I pretty much said all I have to say on it - it robs you of decisions and struggle - and the joy of being surprised. It robs you of learning...

a snippet of a mini-comic, at top - straight line stretches from point A to B. Immediately below, same dot at A, then becomes a curving, meandering line that winds through the page and ends at a point with rays and a question mark emanating from it. Text reads: "Nothing can do this for you - for that robs you of experience and conflates answers with learning. Rather, it's all the decisions you make along the way, the mistakes, struggles, and surprises! These pathways you create - this is learning.

The historic first Earthrise photo from the Moon was received 60 years ago today. It was shot on film, developed onboard the Lunar Orbiter 1 spacecraft, scanned, transmitted home...and then meticulously restored decades later. 🧪🔭 www.lpi.usra.edu/features/lun...
On August 23, 1966, Lunar Orbiter 1 took the first photo of Earth as seen from lunar orbit. While a remarkable image at the time, the full resolution of the image was never retrieved from the data stored from the mission. In 2008, this earthrise image was restored by the Lunar Orbiter Image Recovery Project at NASA Ames Research Center. They obtained the original data tapes from the mission (the last surviving set) and restored original FR-900 tape drives to operational condition using both 60s era parts and modern electronics.
