Mysteries are afoot. Diatom valves from Yellowstone National Park. #SciArt #diatoms #SEM #Stumped

This one is more like a diatom-inspired zentangle (for more advanced coloring). It's not just for kids! #SciArt #Outreach #Diatoms #ColoringPage

I have been turning a bunch of my own drawings (rendered from SEM images) of diatoms that I post onto Redbubble shop (www.redbubble.com/people/Diato...) as coloring pages. Feel free to use them for your outreach. Here's another one #Surirella. #SciArt #Outreach #Diatoms #ColoringPage

I have been turning a bunch of my own drawings (rendered from SEM images) of diatoms that I post onto Redbubble shop (www.redbubble.com/people/Diato...) as coloring pages. Feel free to use them for your outreach. Here's a marine diatom #Arachnoidiscus. #SciArt #Outreach #Diatoms #ColoringPage

A Cyclotella (close to C. quillensis, but not quite) from Fox Lake, IN. Present in a sediment core we collected as part of the Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (student: Sydney Williams). Color has been added (me). #SEM #diatoms #SciArt #Paleolimnology #Paleoecology #algae #phytoplankton

Yay yay yay. The Diatoms Board Game has finally arrived!

External valve view of the diatom Lindavia radiosa in SEM (imaged by me, colorized by me) from Lake Michigan. #SciArt #Diatoms #SEM #Lindavia #LakeMichigan

A sequence of photos that I collected from the #eclipse totality.

First play through of the digital version of #DiatomsTheGame in the solo mode (win). Now that I have a sense of it I should play against someone. :)

Next blog-post on the third prize in the IDS Oral Presentations. How can Diatom-derived biomarker be used in paleoreconstruktion? Kotaro Hoshi shares the practical case at the Gulf of Alaska. isdr.org/ids-early-ca...
