Big thanks to @lcatmon.bsky.social, 44 Perill Art Sonor, @eseb2025.bsky.social, @sesbe-org.bsky.social, Ayuntamiento de BCN, local neighbors of Vila de Gràcia, and all volunteers & scientists from Spain, Europe & beyond who made this possible.

Science + art + community 💜 💡🌱🎶

I also gave a microtalk for the public on how flow cytometry helps us study biodiversity & evolution, plus its role in our daily lives. The art inspired by samples I've run included:
✨ Diatom chandelier
✨ Bioluminescent squid + symbiotic bacteria
💫 Laser light at night

The installation was built almost entirely from recycled materials (bottles, cardboard, paper) by community + student volunteers, neighbors, and conference participants. A true collective effort 👏🌍

Honored to help transform C/Perill into a giant scientific art installation "L’arquitectura de la vida" during @eseb2025.bsky.social + Barcelona’s Festa Major de Gràcia 🎉🧬

Talks, workshops & recycled-material art w/ neighbors #44Perill, scientists & @lcatmon.bsky.social science+community in action!

Don't just protest, put it on the record. CADEM Region 17 adopted my resolution in 2023. Rep Jimmy Gomez D-CA34 supports science & research.

After the #StandUpForScience protest, email your Member of Congress to set up a meeting in-district with them or staff. You don't have to fly to DC to start!
