Hope you had a good valentine's Day (although St Dwynwen's Day 🏴 is really where it's at)
From and X-ray machine, with love ♥️

Some blue woodlice for #BlueBugs #BlueMonday
Infected with iridovirus, which makes them appear blue. More info on what's going on in the video

An oldie but a goodie, and a useful demonstration of the power of 3D X-ray microCT for generating real-life geometries and morphologies for finite element analysis that I can roll out for both Christmas and Thanksgiving!

The complex network of calcareous tunnels left by colonising tube worms on this whelk shell.
Collected on the Swansea Uni campus beach as part of an undergrad materials science bioprospecting class then X-ray imaged at the lab 100 yards from the shoreline

This kinda sums up what I do as a researcher working on materials ranging from ocean organisms to space alloys, volcanoes to meteorites, jet engines to insects. With a leaning towards bioinspiration/biomimicry.
This is me in VR crawling through the coiled proboscis of a moth we imaged using X-rays
