Remember the poster inspired by stained glass? Well, I decided to actually try making a mini version, in real glass. I haven't cut or solder glass in my entire life. Maybe starting with 32 pieces was a bad idea. I forgot I could’ve just painted glass instead. It’s awful. I love it. #sciart #art

Image of a golden engraved nanofiche on the tip of a finger, being the nanofiche same size. Text says, The lunar codex is a series of time capsules archiving art, literature, and cultural data from around the world. Etched on nanofiche, they are launched into space and stored in craters of the moon. It includes work from 262 countries and territories, making it the most extensive cultural record ever sent to the Moon. The project aims to preserve humanity's creative legacy against Earth- bound risks. A time capsule for future generations

May's temperatures (at last). Another warm month - warmer than the last two years as you can see from the orange colours, though chillier nights (more purple) - I'm guessing that's because of the clear skies and lack of rain. #temperatureembroidery #sciart

Made this after a trip where I found myself staring at stained glass in old churches for way too long. Not sure it’s finished, but I needed to let it go for now. Open to thoughts, might revisit it later. It’s about the black hole that formed after two binary stars collided #scicomm #sciart

Parts of alt text are divided by color, including identify who, expression, description, colour, and interesting features. The finished description reads “A capybara looking relaxed in a hot spa.

There are two signals here. One is localised (terrestrial, resulting from human activities). The other, originating ~2415 light-years away is the result of a rapidly rotating 20km diameter object with an extremely strong magnetic field. If you squint, you'll be able to see a pulsar in there.

Plot showing pulse phase vs. time. The pulsar's signal is in the central phase bin and appears as a vertical line. Everywhere else on the plot is pixelated shades of orange and yellow. They are forming a diagonal sweeping pattern. This is the result of radio frequency interference.
