The PCB Committee for Community Building packed lots of diapers at the diaper bank Friday! 10/10 recommend getting out in your community and volunteering. Especially during tumultuous times, it's great to do tangible things that help others.

Four women standing in front of a pallet of diapers. Two women holding packs of diapers and two women holding a sign saying: We packed 3850 baby diapers covering 77 babies.

The mighty Drosophila melanogaster for #ArtAdventCalendar day 9. I have spent 20 years using Drosophila to answer questions about how cells and tissues coordinate their responses in both development and after injury. #art #science #Drosophila

Another from the AP art portfolio for day 4 of the #ArtAdventCalendar. This piece was inspired by the work of Chuck Close. I don't really enjoy (nor am I good at) drawing people. But I really enjoyed working on this piece and I actually love how it turned out!

Women wearing a hat. Marker and colored pencils. Grid style.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 3. A talented family friend made this beautiful, cute stained glass fruit fly for me. I have been working with Drosophila melanogaster as a model system in the lab for 20 years now!

It's #ArtAdventCalendar day 2! Pencil and colored pencils on wood. And a tiny bit of wood poker work. An older piece of mine from my AP Art portfolio (a lot of that portfolio was horse themed!).

Artwork on wood. Border with wood poker outlines of horses. Black and white inset of rearing horse head. Main image is four horses standing. Mostly warm brown colors.
