Low key, hi key (👇🔑, ☝️🔑) inspired by this color combo aesthetique. Courtesy of @denvertools library.

Never in a zillion years would I use these 2 colors together of my own accord. But look at them!? Def filing away for future use...

What a gift it is to not realize how much work a project is going to be before you start it. 😂 I hope I never ever wisen up!

Yo dawg we heard you like bacterial art so we made you some bacterial art out of bacterial art! 🦠🎨

First attempt at recreating my profile picture by @koreanboybot out of bacteria. I think i'm going to get bigger plates and try for a better version soon!

Super dried out bone isn't the all time most conductive material. But it worked a bit! (and sometimes I just touched the lead🤫) And the aesthetic is cool!

New prof pic is old art from @koreanboybot of me as a micro-cosmonaut! 😍

It is perpetually one of my favorite things! Thanks Doyung!

Someone tweeted this picture and it got me thinking about the rapid pace of biotech.

So bizarre to remember that PCR was only invented in 1985. We have only been using PCR for *36 years* that is mind boggling.

A few weeks ago one of my friends reminded me that it's important to make silly small projects.....and... here we are.

Really really enjoying #IBDRC2020 from @BioDesignR. My only qualms are that I can't make every talk and why isn't it IBDRC every day?

But seriously huge thanks to the organizers this is an awesome conference.

Today is the 40th anniversary of my girl St. Helen's blowing her top. This is one of my favorite pictures from my time as a ranger at Johnston Ridge. The volcano just floating above the clouds.😍 #MtStHelens

Was surprised to run into a bunch of people I know or was one degree away from knowing at #DEFCON27.

Also learned some sweet new skills! Including how to make DIY hydrogels with household materials @DC_BHV with JJ Hastings. Turned out kinda like a @glanderco creation irl

Skyping with a classroom was incredibly fun! These kids had so much energy and excitement! They asked me a lot of questions that helped me remember why I'm excited about science. 🚀 Would highly recommend #skypeascientist #scicomm
