Hoping if any journalists are doing end-of-year Top 10 Lists of Bluesky Feeds, they’ll consider the SciArt Feed 🐡. One of the oldest Feeds on Bluesky: a curated list of contributors to keep AI out; and now over 2,100 Likes.

My scientific career can be traced by the paintings I have 'left behind'. For my next 9 days of #ArtAdventCalendar I will lead you along the trail... First up, my undergrad & PhD in Mol Cell Biol at UCL and 'Ear' (2004) purchased by Prof Geraint Thomas for his office. Oil on canvas, 90 x 60 cm.

I'm sharing a #knitted piece for #ArtAdventCalendar! It's a bit niche.. maybe one for those familiar with #Teesside in the UK. It's colourwork knitted wrist warmers depicting #Redcar #BlastFurnace at night, one of our #IndustrialHeritage landmarks. #Knitting

*Issue 2 of Mi_Crochet Lab* is now available at link below! I've decided to split the comic into shorter, more frequent issues - hopefully it works better! Feedback welcomed 😊. #SciArt #SciComm #ScienceComic #Microbiology #Crochet🧪 globalcomix.com/c/mi-crochet...

When asked what it would take to shake his belief in evolution, JBS Haldane is reported to have said, "Fossil rabbits in the Precambrian". 🔸 "Haldane's Precambrian Puzzle" Oil on 9 pieces of shale; they can be reconfigured to show trilobite fossils. #ArtAdventCalendar 🐡🎨🧪

Sooooo, I keep getting Followed by bitcoiners and “single Asian ladies” not in my area. I don’t care about the things you think are important to me. If your profile picture looks like this, and you love books, old people, mushrooms, and the unexpected and curious places in life, then we’ll talk.
