Last year a student sent me an email *before the semester started* about his fascination with fungi. How delightful that @snehanjanac.bsky.social then offered her fungi-plant interaction expertise and they created a comic together. 🍄🌱🌟
Last year I had the great opportunity to work with Dr. Caroline Hu and her extremely talented student Damien. Thanks to them, my slides at ESA were highly praised. Highly recommend people to participate!!

A student had the pleasure of working with @drandrewthaler.bsky.social on his research about dog-human communication last year. How are dogs so attuned to their humans? What are *dogs* observing about *us*? Follow Andrea's research to learn more! 🐕🥽
Last year I had the chance to work with Caroline and her student and it was fantastic! I loved it!

They were both so incredibly prepared and enthusiastic that really inspired me as well to continue my work!

Thank you @beatascienceart.bsky.social, Leonora, and volunteers! Was so inspired by my fellow speakers and connections made during the reception.

If you are going to be at the American Society for Cell Bio meeting/in the San Diego area next Tuesday, there is going to be a science x art show! I'll be there with my own science zines and comics, as well as student work. Thanks @beatascienceart.bsky.social and team for organizing!!
