Absolutely delighted by my design for this year's work pumpkin decorating contest.
I don't even care if anyone else likes it, I just had the best time with it 🤓👩🎨
Parts of a cell but make it spooky 👻🦠

Trying out some new stickers and kicking myself for missing some rendering errors on the proofs!
At least I only ordered 10.

After several test canvases, I think I found my way to a more earthy palette that still feels like me 🤗
Ready to start this custom order!

Lots of great stuff in San Francisco but these two stretching sea lions were my favorite probably. They sat like that for minutes on end! Loving life.

This time 6yr ago, I was writing my PhD and making brain paintings to give my advisors.
Today, I am embarrassed by those early edition pieces 😅 but still very proud of my PhD 🤓

Is anyone else unable to throw away reusable containers? My husband thinks I have a problem 😂
Trying to figure out what kind of biology art to draw on this 🐻shaped glass jar I've acquired 🤔
I have an idea but it might get weird...

I'm pretty pleased with how this little test piece turned out 🧠
Should I start adding anatomy labels to all my art?
I like that it gives them some educational value, but it def changes the aesthetic as well.

Okay #artsky, what's your favorite way to seal paint on glass?
I drew a brain circuit on this jar and I don't want to ruin it by choosing the wrong varnish 😖

Great showing at Stand Up For Science in Philly.
Happy to be out there with all my coworkers at NDRI showing our support for researchers and the science community as a whole.
It's not normal to have to argue in favor of science and truth but here we are, together.

First time making protest signs, how did I do?
I want to add a little visual pizazz but didn't get there yet.
I'll be out at city hall for #StandUpForScience in Philly tomorrow 💪✊️🔬🧬

When I can't get my creativity going, there's *always* something that needs epoxy resin 😅

Nothing like finally finishing the FULL first draft of writing you've been working on, for only 3hr at a time, for over a month 🙌📖
I've been writing about bioresources so in honor of feeling great, here are some organ magnets I made 🙃🧠🫀🫁

I keep meaning to post more #sciart photos here, and keep getting distracted by updates on the dumpster fire that is the US right now.
Anyway, here's my favorite coronal section of a mouse brain, which I loved looking at with pretty colors under the scope during my time in academia 🔬🤩

I've been avoiding today by "reverse coloring" and it's been pretty soothing.
The pages are just color and you draw the lines. I'm a big fan.

My motivation/inspiration to make art has been so low in 2025 so far. A lot of anhedonia overall.
Is it my brain, is it winter, or is it the state of the country 🤔
Welp, here's some brain art in morning winter sun to remind us all to be kind to our minds right now.

One of her favorite strategies is to just sit on top of the toy so it can't move.
