Hello Bluesky!
I'm Núria, a scientist turned scientific illustrator based in Japan.
During my PhD I worked with microtubules and microtubule end binding proteins, so that is in my banner. It is a rather old image, but I still love it.
Something is tricky about this image 👇

How did a brain gene end up behaving like a virus? Research has shown that there is an evolutionary connection between Arc, retroviruses, and virus-like genetic elements called retrotransposons.

The Japan Pavilion at the #EXPO2025 was all about sustainability. The cutest room had Hello Kitty algae. Did you know that algae can absorb 14 times as much CO2 as a cedar tree? And produce 50 times as much protein as beef for the same amount of water? But could you eat these faces? Maybe yes.
