I have the print copy!! It's so exciting to see my art on the cover and @henrydebelly.bsky.social's paper in print! Thanks Orion! @oweinerlab.bsky.social!

Orange time! This is moving towards being a fruit series
This cell looks like it discovered lemons or just citric acid at the cellular level
This is our classy polarized rac-rho cell's good friend. The noise it makes is "Oblelbebebelbebeb" Draw with acrylic pens #art #sciart #traditionalart
These growths in @micro-manager.bsky.social cannot really be understated! It has been amazing to seem the improvements implemented so quickly as people need them on our systems!
Development of Micro-Manager code has accelerated quite a bit with availability of the new generation of AI coding tools (and the need to provide functionality for microscopes in our core at UCSF). Follow these developments here: nicost.github.io/microscope-t...

Half a year of progress in Micro-Manager development
Faster progress on Micro-Manager development thanks to new AI coding tools

I'm super excited my art is gracing the cover of Nature cell biology! Thanks @henrydebelly.bsky.social for letting me draw the cover for you and congratulations on your paper! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Here's a six-month time-lapse of me building the single objective light sheet fluorescence microscope at the UCSF Center for Advanced Light Microscopy! Also pictured is @nicostuurman.bsky.social and @kahsage.bsky.social. #snouty
One of the difficulties in developing code for microscopes is to get access to the equipment. So, wouldn't it be nice to have emulators? Turns out that AI is really good at converting documentation into an emulator: nicost.github.io/microscope-t...

I made teaching tools for training people on the SNOUTY. Here they are for other people! I recommend laminating them so you can draw on them with dry erase markers :)
@tanner-fadero.bsky.social told me there was a discussion about the unofficial name for #snouty V3. We have had Mr. Snouty and King Snouty, and there were people suggesting Emperor Snouty. I think it is time for a Lady or EMPRESS snouty. I have created Art to support this.
This was a quick sketch for the super kind postdoc Lisa Randolf who has kindly been providing me with samples to test on our microscope.
Congratulations to Takeshi Tsusaka on their recent publication on Reversible histone deacetylase activity www.nature.com/articles/s41.... Also, thank you to Takeshi for acknowledging our core facility, putting in hardware information about the microscope, and telling me about it all!!!!

Slow-mo Calcium response! Here is a little neutrophil with a calcium sensor doing its best to respond to a chemoattractant! Work done by Evelyn Strickland inspired this! Check out her paper on self-extinguishing relay waves in neutrophil swarming www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #art #sciart
Decorated pumpkins at work! I had to go with a Vampire microscope because microscopes are light vampires. . . Bonus for anyone who noticed its deadly ultraviolet wings! . #sciart #acrylic #microscope #vampire

I’m behind on challenges because I guess it was Smaugust, for some reason I thought there was a Smaugtember with all the dragon images on my feed. Anyway it made me want to draw a dragon and I just like the idea of a giant powerful dragon performing delicate work. #art #sketch #sketchbook
