Working on a graduate degree in biosciences.
Love nature, mushrooms, amphibians, astronomy and beach combing.
Hoping that one day people of all colours, genders and sexual orientations can be safe in the US. Hope science funding is restored.

'Delphinus' is a star, leaping from the ocean, a celestial traveller caught between the depths and the heavens.
Born from fire and smoke in the unpredictable alchemy of raku, it's iridescent surface swirls with cosmic starlight, copper reds and nebula blues.

I’ve long felt that a basic part of being a biologist, even a Theory Guy (ungendered), means showing respect for the biodiversity you’re discussing; a few years ago this would make me cranky if I saw clipart of the wrong kind of insect in a talk or a figure, now it’s if I see AI-generated critters
There was a speaker this semester who did this throughout their presentation and went significantly over time, and despite them being A Big Deal in the field, my students continue to absolutely roast them for it every time the topic comes up.
I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

This is one of the last days I get to post these absolutely curséd animations I made for eel facts season. I think I'll post them in a thread here for posterity.

Black Friday feeling too loud?
Follow the White Rabbit somewhere quieter to support artists and small businesses. 🥰
