@absusa_ Thank you! I haven't thought of one yet!

@SimonSublime wow! what's its name?

Knotted Light [exploring a novel and sustainable microbiologically derived cotton]. The process begins with a photoautotrophic seed which is cultured, using little more than sunlight, water & air (photosynthesis), harvested, & then converted into a material that is cotton-like.

@SemprePhi Thanks for the link!

Special K: an aesthetic of a controlled drug (Ketamine, DIC microscopy, 100-times magnification). A new #sciart project exploring the capricious aesthetic of the controlled drug Ketamine (an anaesthetic, recreational drug, & a possible therapy for treatment-resistant depression

@markowenmartin @vexedmuddler @artologica @Blackmudpuppy @trilobiteglass @eliza_coli @she_toot @fsantoriello @ActinoArtist Thank you Mark! You have to know that the feeling is mutual.

@SimonSublime @vexedmuddler @artologica @Blackmudpuppy @trilobiteglass @eliza_coli @she_toot @fsantoriello @ActinoArtist You have to know I respect the heck out of you.

Great science art is everywhere! Check out @vexedmuddler @artologica @Blackmudpuppy @trilobiteglass @eliza_coli @she_toot @fsantoriello @ActinoArtist @SimonSublime

@montyreid Thank you Monty! Appreciated!

@SimonSublime much appreciate your images!

Ocean Eyes: "walkin' through a world gone blind" Tears of frustration. (psychic human tears (mine), DIC microscopy, 100-times magnification). Been done before but an expression of my mood today. Black Dog is scratching at the door.

Snow Over Springfield Farm (2021). Using algorithmic photography to track the fall of individual snowflakes as they fall to Earth.

@markowenmartin Thank you Mark! You've made my day!

@SimonSublime But I will never match your vision!

@SimonSublime, you are the greatest

@markowenmartin @univpugetsound @jo44atWID @ASMicrobiology one I've always wanted to try!

Flashback to one of my favorite #Bio350 demonstrations here at @univpugetsound. Thanks again to @jo44atWID for teaching me this technique. @ASMicrobiology youtu.be/SenJud3cHLc

@markowenmartin Yes, all the soul destroying admin. It seemed to grow in volume year on year. Being just a metric (calculated from research income, publications, teaching feedback) was the last straw for me.

@SimonSublime I think that change is fine. It's important for new people to get into it. It's just time for me to think of something else to do. I'm the same, but I don't want to add to problems! All the bureaucracy removes my joy.

@markowenmartin Would thoroughly recommend! Academia isn't what it was 20 years ago. I guess, like you, it was the interaction with the students that kept me going.

@SimonSublime I aspire to exactly the same thing in a few years.

@markowenmartin Thank you Mark!
