Very excited to join this community! I'm a molecular biologist at UC San Diego who is passionate about science art, fashion, and outreach. I'm also an IF/THEN Ambassador and created the science video game #Microscopya. Looking forward to connecting with you all! #SciArt #ScienceFashion #SciComm
We couldn't be more excited for @mag2art.bsky.social's talk in our session at #CellBio2025, and I can assure everyone that he is absolutely qualified. Looking forward to it 🤩
I am presenting at the Science and Art Minisymposium at #CellBio2025 today! The line up is great this year. I am hands down the least qualified person presenting. It is a weird feeling but I am excited! Here is my title slide.

Come find out how to make your science more accessible. Hear and touch mitosis during my talk. @ascbiology.bsky.social #cellbio2025 #mitosis #midbody #tactilelearning
Here’s a sneak peek at two of the amazing topics that will be presented - Ahna Skop’s 'Tactile Mitosis' project to create more inclusive, multi-sensory learning tools, and Janet Iwasa’s software that allows users to create molecular visualizations!

Very excited to share my brand new 'Cell Cycle Circuit' drawing! It shows a signaling circuit that regulates mitotic entry in fission yeast, where a protein complex (Cdc2/CDK1-Cyclin B) integrates both positive (Cdc25) and negative signals (Wee1 & Mik1/Myt1) to decide when to divide. #CellCycle2025

I'm humbled to have my art on the poster for a very special symposium that celebrates Prof Rick Kahn and his work on ARF GTPases and G proteins! The drawing highlights the diversity of cellular structures because these proteins are so crucial in regulating a wide variety of processes in the cell!
