What a nice sight to wake up to 😊🌀
The amazing work of @cellarchlab.com, @florentwaltz.bsky.social and their team made it on the cover of @science.org and I had the honor to create the visuals!

I hope you like this ATP (animated title page 😉 you see what I did there?).

We're on the cover of @science.org this week. Awesome work by @florentwaltz.bsky.social. #CryoET is reaching crazy resolutions inside cells, and this is just the beginning. Fantastic interpretation of the proton motive force by @verenaresch.bsky.social. Always a pleasure making #SciArt with you!🧪🧶🧬🌾

New cover design @naturesynthesis.bsky.social

I really had fun visualizing the Turner Lab’s research and am grateful that they let me take a playful approach. We turned one-pot multienzyme cascade reactions into a marble run—perfect for an animated cover!

If you're in need of festive (bio)molecules, here are some ⭐-shaped suggestions

1: A cyanostar
2: PDB 8I6G
3: PDB 6M6G
4: PDB 6Y83

SMILES for the cyanostar are below, so you don't have to draw it by hand (unlike me 😅)

Feel free to add your favorite festive molecule!

True, it really does!

True. I make all my tutorials in my free time and sometimes there's just not enough free time left to make tutorials 😮‍💨

In this case yes. Sometimes I use supporting software (PyMol, Chimera, etc) to prepare files. But here it was pdb code straight to Blender. Also no postprocessing here.

Sure, I'm happy if it is used for teaching purposes. Just send me a dm and I can provide you with a download link 🙂
