Petri dish photoshoot this morning! Big thanks to Iolo Penri for being patient & taking lots of photos of many Petri dishes! This means I can now properly make progress with my planned series of themed booklets about pathogens.

I know I haven't posted anything here for a while, but I've been a bit busy writing a book about poisons and Agatha Christie. V is for Venom should be out next year.

Throwback to my anatomy-meets-art piece: 'Heart of the Sea' 🌊❤️. A larger wall hanging heart, it's decorated in barnacles, wrapped in tentacles and even features a little starfish. Made in the summer two years ago (and has since sold), it seems appropriate to share on this sunny day!

I'm working away on two exciting new projects at the moment: the anatomical heart pattern & kit (launching in June!), the other is a themed microbiology one, still very much in progress but hopefully will be launched in July 🤞.

Happy Easter! Petri dish featuring a special colony of microbes: 'Minima ovavirus (Mini eggs virus)'. Seasonally sweeping across the UK, causing fierce chocolate cravings. No vaccination available, but uniquely in the history of disease, those afflicted report high levels of joy & satisfaction. 😆🧫

It's a weird world at the moment so maybe it's important to state that Lost In The Wood has & always will stand for inclusion, tolerance and respect for all people. The narrative that we should feel threatened & angry about small /vulnerable groups in society is cruel, inaccurate & deeply divisive.

I made a willow basket today! Such a lovely course with renowned basket maker Mandy Coates for Siop iard, Caernarfon . It was fascinating learning about all the different making stages and seeing this pretty robust form emerge. Delighted with my basket & the fact I got to use a 'bodkin'!

Elon Musk is a proven danger to good science, but the Royal Society won’t say so. That’s why I resigned | Kit Yates
It is vital to act, and I urge colleagues to do so. How can we stand by and laud this man while he undermines scientific integrity? asks academic and author Kit Yates
