Hello Bluesky!
I'm Núria, a scientist turned scientific illustrator based in Japan.
During my PhD I worked with microtubules and microtubule end binding proteins, so that is in my banner. It is a rather old image, but I still love it.
Something is tricky about this image 👇

As someone who produces digital educational content this is very relevant. I keep thinking how to make my work beneficial for society.

I watched the Alien Prometheus movie recently and the opening scene had some pretty funky DNA
✅ Left-handed double helix
✅ Extreme 🔥 grooves
✅ ~15 bases per turn
✅ Super-glued base ladder
✅ Subatomic black goo
What are some of your favourite funny molecule structures from TV/movies?

When labelling an element in your microscope videos, how long should you keep the label visible so the audience can catch it and read it?
It is longer than you may think. See image ^_^
