Good stuff 👇
Hello bluesky #sciart! Today is as good a day as any to start something new and positive.

My name is Son (short for Sonhita) and I'm a Toronto-based scientist, artist and #sciartist. I love using bright colours and bold shapes to paint cells and biological system.

Here is some of my recent works

Check out Marzia‘s Art, absolutely beautiful explorations of molecular Biology!
Time for an new intro under these skies 🔵
I’m a molecular biologist (currently postdoc-ing at EMBL) & also a science illustrator - taking your scientific discoveries and turning them into unconventional, colourful and creative illustrations! ✨ #sciart #scicomm
