Last week, the Dodonova lab published a fascinating paper on chromatin structures in Asgard archaea, microbes thought to be the closest relatives of complex life.
Asgard histones can wrap DNA into a “closed” form shared across archaea, and an “open” form similar to eukaryotic cells #sciart #blender

I used the word Colonizers on a post and it tanked faster than a lead balloon. I guess Lord LinkedIn didn’t like the loaded language I used 😅😂

I celebrated Día de Muertos in Australia. That was a surreal experience, so far from home but so close at the same time.
Mexico is a maximalist country; we love colour, contrasts, boldness. I think that seeps into my work a lot.

Check out some of my illustrations featuring DNA that is, actually, structurally accurate.
Whilst color is absent at the nanoscale, I choose it to highlight the form and function.
These illustrations are grounded in structural data.

Portrait of a ribonuclease inhibitor, a protein built from repeating units called leucine-rich repeats. It prevents ribonucleases from breaking down RNA, acting like a molecular shield that protects the cell’s RNA so processes like protein synthesis can continue normally #molecularnodes #sciart

Is it really #NationalMushroomDay ? I can't believe it 😲
My first scientific love is the wolrd of #fungi so I'm bringing some #hongos from previous work to your feed.
This is my #vizbi 2022 poster. #sciart

Plasmodium falciparum in its merozoite phase: tiny parasites gearing up to invade red blood cells. Each one is only about 1-2 micrometers long, roughly the size of a fraction of a red blood cell. A critical moment for malaria research.
