Every day! It's hard enough to get enough money to be able to produce sciart as a living; then add AI scraping, temu and this. This is because in general there is less value placed in the arts and creativity. Yet are happy to profit from it for free. I'm glad not everyone is like this

Congratulations!! ✨🥳🎉 @drprernavohra.bsky.social @langridgelab.bsky.social

Last week @richabdill.com and @samanthagraham.bsky.social's paper was featured on the cover of Cell! The cover, portraying microbes on shelves shaped like a world map, was possible thanks to the amazing team of illustrators at SciStories ✏️🦠

"The team predicts that the two neutron stars will spiral slowly toward each other in a cosmic dance, ultimately colliding in a kilonova explosion." Inspired by @skuthunur.bsky.social article & thanks to @astro-jje.bsky.social for patiently answering all my silly binary star questions! #Sciart

Little neuron doodle I made a while back. 🧠 🎨 What should I name this cellular cutie? #sciart #scicomm

Major research funding cuts in the US are also affecting popular science YouTube channels, which relied on the small segment of funding budgets that were set aside for outreach. (Well, "small" for the funders, but a big part of income for YouTube channels) #scicomm www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQjF...

For #BlackHistoryMonth pharmaceutical #chemist Alice Ball (1892-1916) who developed 1st effective treatment for leprosy. 🧪🐡👩🏾‍🔬 #histsci Though her life was cut tragically short, her research saved 1000s from exile & painful, ineffective lifelong treatment for leprosy, & she was a trailblazer for 🧵

Through my EU VOICE funded project “Greening the Lab: Decarbonising Biomedical Science” I’ve been exploring the term ‘visibly soiled’ used to describe medical waste when it’s possible to visually observe dirt or mess. This artwork reflects on ‘visibly soiled’ from a bacterial perspective #sciart

Have you ever wondered how beekeepers know which flowers their bees are visiting? Would you like to try your hand at English paper piecing? The two questions aren't entirely unrelated (and I'm frantically trying to get the quilt quilted in time!!) #sciart www.festival.cam.ac.uk/events/polle...

Today is the 95th anniversary of Pluto’s discovery! It was discovered by Clyde Tombaugh at Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona. Planet/dwarf planet you can argue amongst yourselves about that, but I think whoever snags this painting on Friday should get final say 😉

[Buenos días] Nature’s palette is endless 🌿🌸 Every shade, every hue, telling a story of beauty, life, and harmony. 🌈✨ There’s magic in the way colors breathe life into the world around us. #painting #acrylic #nature #sciart #science

In this #SciArt profile, we meet @biyolokum.bsky.social, an assistant professor studying regeneration in segmented worms. Duygu enjoys making pottery pieces of worms, bugs and other “creepy” animals to show people the wonders of these organisms. Find out about her art pieces and artistic influences:

Happy birthday to Marjorie Rice (née Jeuck, 1923–2017) who discovered 4 new pentagonal tilings of the Euclidian plane! 🐡🐡👩🏼‍🔬🧮 #histsci The San Diego mother of 5 (6th died in infancy) completed half a correspondence art course after high school & had no training as a #mathematician but was always 🧵

It's #weekend and I think this #fungus knows how to drop some #bass 💣🎶 This culture was kindly gifted to me by a colleague who worked on #forest #endophytes. I wish I could have access to a Penicillium vulpinum stock too! www.FungalGalaxies.com #fungifriends #sciart #microbiology #microsystems

Another of the coral comets. I try and glaze these in a limited colour palette. #SciArt #ceramic #porcelain #coral #reef #sculpture #comet

I've co-opted two of my favourite artists personified as cone cells to illustrate how we perceive colour and thus many great works of art. axonology.com/cartoon/cones/ #SciArt #neuroscience #neuroSkyence 🧪

#OnThisDay in 1941 the first patient, Albert Alexander, was treated with Penicillin. This event marked the success of antibiotics and their application in medicine. His story serves as a testament to inspire researchers to develop new life-saving antibiotics in an effort against AMR #KnockingOutAMR

I leverage evidence-based #scicomm approaches to create tools that people can use to take action to make their efforts to share science 🧪 more effective and ethical. But we need a bigger-picture tool, not just "doing scicomm" tools. 🧵

Another of the coral moons. This one is JANUS, a moon of Saturn. I like discovering new ways of combining forms, marks, textures and colours, so each piece is completely individual. #SciArt #coralmoon #ceramic #porcelain #coral #reef #sculpture

An extraordinary American astronaut and science communicator for #BlackHistoryMonth: Mae Carol Jemison (born 1956) is a physician who became the first Black woman to travel in space when she went into orbit aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour for NASA, on September 12, 1992. 🧪🐡👩🏾‍🔬 #histsci 🧵

Day 6: Valerie Thomas – The Woman Behind 3D Technology When you watch a 3D movie or use modern imaging tech, you can thank Valerie Thomas, the NASA scientist who pioneered 3D image transmission.

I hesitate to put this out there despite some encouragement; there are people who need it more than I do. If you appreciate the work I do for the SciArt community, or my artwork, or anti-AI ranting, here's a link to buy me a cup of coffee. No pressure, anyone.

I make my pieces over a form, to get the basic shape, and then go to town pinching out fans, ridges, spikes and other protrusions. Then the meditative action of repetitive mark making to create the coral textures. #porcelain #ceramic #art #sculpture #coral #nudibranch #colourful

My shop is back! (and everything is 15% off for a couple more days) I've been meaning to move my shop out of Etsy (and into my website) for a while...but just can't seem to find the time. So, for now, it is back where it was, and open for business :) #SciArt #EarthScientists

The overview of AMR that you always wanted (someone else to write) - amazing! Truly brilliant paper with great figures! @lancetmicrobe.bsky.social www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...
