Geneticist working on malaria mosquitoes, I also doodle bugs 🦟

Staff Scientist at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, opinions are my own

Hello #PortfolioDay, I'm Petra, a staff scientist working on malaria mosquitoes, but I also try to make science more approachable and whimsical with my #SciArt doodles 🦟
my section was all about uterine tissues creating happy little "benign" tumors that make your life hell but since they are not cancerous it takes forever to diagnose and find a treatment that works for YOU!

November's #InvertArtChallenge, a Tachinid Fly. Such neat little feets! So fuzzy! I should probably get better at sketching fur/fuzz/hair.

Funny it's only the EXECUTIVES who keep saying "AI" is inevitable and will be in everything. When it's developers, coders, writers, artists, independent creators, and smaller studios run by those people, they're somehow shockingly AGAINST using plagiarismbots that can't code, write, or draw.

The most simple fact is: It makes sense because your consumers care about it. Set aside any facts about AI and just treat it as a black box component. If buyers say it factors into their purchasing decisions, then it matters to you because the point of your service is to sell what they want to buy.

This is probably the best way to phrase it tbh
