Comic-Con was absolutely magical! From discussing the science behind Wicked, to interacting with kids at the STEAM Fair and mingling with pop culture fans at the STEM Mixer - every encounter was inspiring. So grateful I got to spark excitement about #STEM alongside our amazing IF/THEN Ambassadors!

This drawing is an homage to Sir Paul Nurse's pioneering work on the #CellCycle, along with others who laid the groundwork for what we know today, and it's featured on the poster and abstract book of the Salk Cell Cycle meeting. Huge thanks to @salkinstitute.bsky.social‬ and conference organizers!

A common metaphor to describe cellular signaling pathways is an electronic circuit board, which sums up positive and negative input signals and transmits them to the output, which determines entry into mitosis. This is based on a realistic schematic that would be functional when built!

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

Wow, really? What a small world! I would have loved to say hello, but I was also very tired and jetlagged. It's my first time in Cambridge and I absolutely love it!

First day at the VIZBI conference and very excited for some fascinating talks and discussions on visualizing biological data at the beautiful @magdalenecollege.bsky.social in Cambridge!

My first time presenting a poster on #SciArt was at VIZBI 2019. I was thrilled to meet an amazing community of creative scientists working on data visualization, science illustrators, and people who transitioned between research and science art. This experience that has led me to where I am today!

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!
