First cover of 2026 is out! How do symbiotic organisms like corals and cnidarians identify their symbionts as such, rather than as debris/food/ etc? #SciArt ...

A couple of weeks ago I got the chance to speak to graduate students, post-docs and PIs at the @weizmanninstitute.bsky.social about how to use visual tools to communicate their science more effectively. This was part of a course in Adobe Illustrator given at the department of Life Sciences...

In the spirit of giving thanks, here are a few things I am grateful for today: 1. Our body’s incredible immune system, and the tireless work of scientists to enhance immunotherapy, using CD8+ T cells that can infiltrate cancer... #immunotherapy #cancerresearch #SciArt #coverart

Tricks and Treats - AI art #SciArt I often get asked how I made a particular piece of artwork (here it's @procreate.com ). I am always happy to share, and the answer you *will not* hear is generative AI. The idea of AI image generation as a magic trick is deceptive...

I usually work on art inspired by science, but this time around the science was inspired by art! Congratulations to Ahyoung Kim and Qian Chen and colleagues for their work on atom-scale stenciling! #SciArt #art #pottery #nanotechnology #nanoparticles

The Maresca Lab @imphys-tudelft.bsky.social are using ultrasound to show capillaries and cells in living organs!! I was thrilled to work on this project. Congratulations to David Maresca and Baptiste Heiles on this fantastic work #SciArt
Cells and capillaries are being revealed by un ultrasound intersecting beam

A couple of years ago I got to create this reconstruction of #denisova 3 for a TV France documentary. It’s something I’m very proud to share. You can view the clip here #SciArt drive.google.com/file/d/14bp1...
image of denisovan girl based on denisovan 3 finding. The image is a reconstruction made by sculpting the features then painting over a photo of the sculpture. The girl is standing in the opening  of denisovan cave

Wanted to share one of my recent favorites made with supersculpey and digital media for the Alon and Shema labs at Weizmann institute!
The image depicts two “balls” of chromatin; one closed (blue) representing a luminal breast cancer cell and one more open (red) representing a basal-like breast cancer cell. The balls are separated by a Waddington-like epigenetic landscape “hill”. The LATS1 tumor suppressor fortifies the “hill” by associating with NCOR1 nuclear corepressor to close the chromatin of basal-like genes.
