New science illustration practice! A peacock from the woodland park zoo! #sciart #scienceillustration #illustration

#Science Opsonization! A macrophage demolishes a bacteria with the help of antibodies!

#Sciart #scienceart Wanna see one of my first animations made in procreate (and created while I wrote my thesis?) Tadaa! A megakarytocyte turning into a bunch of teeny tiny platelets! (I highly recommend NEVER doing this for a first animation attempt 😅)

GTPase in action! This is the “on /off” switch of cells. When GTP is bound to the protein, the GTPAse (usually) is turned on. When it has GDP (two phosphates instead of 3), the protein is (usually) turned off. #science #animation #scicomm #Sciart

WIP #sciart …Never do peacock art for your science illustration portfolio, the feathers are NOT worth it! 🥲

New blog post! Today we will be exploring echolocation, inspired by a chat with one of my students. We not only look at animals beyond your classic bat, but we also discuss whether humans can echolocate! Link in bio and here: gettingthesciencewrite.com/Echolocation/ #scicomm #scienceblogs #scicomm

Platelets and their clot formations! I studied these cells back in grad school! #sciart #scicomm #animation #science #sciencevisualisation #scienceanimation

I think I’m done with this sea otter illustration! Digital painting of sea otters from the Seattle Aquarium! #sciart

Ok! One last animation before I officially go on vacation! #sciart #animation #scicomm

One of many functions antibodies have: neutralization! Keeping proteins (like on the outside of a virus) from binding to cell surfaces and blocking them from the receptors on the cell’s exterior! This was a fun version of the bouncing ball animation exercise! #science #animation #scicomm

I have been horrible at posting my #Sciart practices on BlueSky! Here’re some of my recent botanical practice pieces!

Neutrophils are the “nukes” of the immmune system, meaning they’re ready to dump all of their pre-packaged content into an inflamed area to deal with an infection. Sometimes, this means the neutrophil dumps out its own DNA, which can entangle itself into the site of inflammation.

Another silly animation I made for my upcoming indie book (comedy fantasy) as we’re in pride month! Hello fellow aroaces!

What do my PhD thesis and my upcoming fantasy novel have in common? I wrote them to the same music! #author

Little fun animation practice (I think this is considered rotoscoping? I used a series of pictures I took from the Seattle aquarium to make the stingray’s motions!) #animation

This is the little animation I made for my upcoming #selfpub novel! (Yes, I animated this all in ToonSquid! Took a bit to figure out!)

I’ve completely forgot to post this about my upcoming indie novel! If you like my science blog, you’ll enjoy this fun book! It was a blast to write! #author

New #scienceart practice! Fun little butterfly that I based off of a picture I took back from the pacific science center!

Poetry book rec for scientists!! The Plates by Diane Ackerman has been a joy to read (and eventually I’ll make a video going through the actual poems because it tickles my writing brain in all the best ways!) #scicomm

Art practice for science illustration that I forgot to post on here! #scicomm

Please enjoy this picture that only happened this morning because I overcame my severe feet of bees and got real close with my iPhone. #photography #bees

New Scicomm blog post!! gettingthesciencewrite.com/Dragon-Fire/ Today we’ll be exploring all the scientific ways dragons could breathe fire! Buckle up, because we head back to AP chemistry for this one! #scicomm #blog #sciencecomm #dragons #sciencefantasy

Day 9 of Operation: Friendly Neighborhood Scientist! #scicomm This time, we got our hands on wooden microscopes :) Miles walked: 0 Drinks drank: none (I forgot my water!) People chatted: 22+! So many people played with the microscopes! It was so much fun, and I got to chat about my research.

#art Animation practice from a Shake My Art youtube tutorial! This is so much harder than it looks, but it was great to practice key-framing speed!

Art practice for future Scicomm work! #scienceart
