For fellow #drosophila scientists, I've updated the Fliagram project with new free-for-use #diagram resources! Included now are the internal organs of the #fruitfly; including the CNS, GI tract, and reproductive organs! This is on top of the already available marker genes! doi.org/10.6084/m9.f...

Continuing the thread! Protest in Glasgow!

Are you fed up wasting time and photons in laser scanning microscopy? Our latest work, PerfectlyAverage, can help to determine optimal parameters for line and frame averaging while considering photobleaching. More information in our preprint! 🔬 bit.ly/PerfectlyAve...

First creative writing piece I've made in a while; a critical analysis of the character Jeri Katou from #DigimonTamers. Really enjoyed writing this piece! scottishkittyart.wordpress.com/2025/03/18/d...

Digital Monsters and Real Trauma: A Critical Analysis of Jeri Katou of Digimon Tamers

Introduction It is no closely kept secret that my favourite media franchise of all time is Digimon; specifically, season 3 of the T.V. series, Digimon Tamers. Consider this piece part one of a mult…

First senior-author paper is out today in the Journal of Microscopy! 🧪🔬 We present the first 3D printed microscope where both the optics & frame are entirely 3D printed - a low-cost, accessible, and reproducible tool for histological imaging! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/jmi.13398

For #drosophila scientists, I've made a free #diagram resource of a variety of common physical markers, both coloured and lined. Hopefully going to make more, so feel free to share suggestions! Current collection: Bar, CyO, e, Hu, w, mini-w, Pin, v, wt, Sp, Ser, Sb, y. doi.org/10.6084/m9.f...

As this is away from my art-focussed Instagram, I feel like I can finally share some of my science work! Submitted this as part of an image competition last year (Scottish Microscopy Symposium), featuring 4 little fun fly heads! Neat, I think! #microscopy #drosophila
