Proteins are dynamic structures, but structural biology often shows them as static snapshots. Inspired by long-exposure photography and generative art, I built ProteinCHAOS, an artistic tool inspired by molecular dynamics to capture protein flexibility over time, much like long-exposure images.

A little Lesser Dog-faced Fruit Bat (Cynopterus brachyotis) tucking into a juicy fig. When I walk my local trail at night I have hundreds of these guys above. Cute little guys 😌

@azbatrescue.bsky.social is this the correct procedure for "rescuing a bat from a swimming pool?"

I have to use sheer force of will to not go on ebay and buy every single miniature model that salespeople used to carry around for cold calls and meetings.

The idea of being a neon salesman in the 1930s with a briefcase of tubes with onboard electricity is just such a wonderful different world.
