Some setbacks in time over the past month, and overthinking how I wanted to ink the most recent row, but 20/30 panels done on the origin of the solar system - the pantheon is taking shape... Excited to see it all coming together!

👀 Look at this awesomeness I received this great Zine 'Creativity Starters' from @angelachick.bsky.social. A perfect antidote to my own creative block! Totally made from the heart and full of fun ♥️

“I would like to cure brain cancer. I think that's not particularly controversial.” Be that as it may, the NIH terminated that scientist's grant. Here's a huge survey of the 2,500 grants that NIH has killed or delayed...so far. Gift link: nyti.ms/43Jz1yJ

Great fun running an Accessible Science Figure Design workshop at @unibirmingham.bsky.social! We looked into #Gestalt & #UX in the context of #curbcutting -accessibility helps everyone. More context here: tinyurl.com/fig-design TY @cassiebakshani.bsky.social 💜 #AccessibleDesign #SciComm #AMR

Can anyone recommend the best place to get a lot of Antibiotic Patient Information Leaflets? I'm making an #AMR artwork -a big Gordian knot, however I've run out! Please see below:

#antimicrobialresistance #drugresistance #amrawareness #sciart
#IUR_global #antibiotics #patientadvocacy #genomics
WIP. Knots made from Patient Info Leaflets (PIL) portraying the Gordian Knot of tackling #AMR, & bacterial nucleoids. Influenced by ‘Bacterial nucleoid is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma’ Andrei Kuzminov.

It's #DNAday. Wanna see some pictures of DNA? I thought so.

My favorite forms of DNA are slouchy, jaunty, dancey, and angsty.

I enjoyed collaborating with @thecgps.bsky.social on the UX/UI design of amr.watch

A design goal was to make global genomic data accessible & visually impactful - highlighting regional disparities & improve decision-making on Antimicrobial Resistance

More detail below:

Our latest preprint is out describing amr.watch - a platform for monitoring AMR trends from global genomics data: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... (1/6)

Preprint on our new amr.watch tool from @thecgps.bsky.social - this incorporates and analyses genome data of key resistant pathogens from the public archives on an ongoing basis (every 4h) & presents the output via an interactive platform for monitoring AMR trends: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I can’t recommend Anna’s courses enough - you’ll see storytelling, and the stories you tell in a completely different way.

And this one’s FREE!

Do you think you're sitting still right now?

- You're on a planet that orbitis a star at 30km/s

- That star is orbiting the center of a galaxy at 230km/s

- That galaxy is moving trough the universe at 600km/s.

Since you started reading this, you have traveled about 3000km.

Students in my intro comics class do a self portrait in the style of all our major readings for the term. Get them thinking about the art styles and sneakily give them a lot of extra drawing experience with little pressure! A collection of some of the coolest ones this term!

Antifungal resistance is an important part of antimicrobial resistance.

But there are many fungal pathogens we don’t know anything about. Could bioimaging be part of the solution?
