A slight departure from my usual photographs, so please indulge me!

I went to the Oxford University Museum of Natural History this week and spotted a display describing how many shells follow a logarithmic spiral growth pattern. I’m a mathematician and code geek, amongst other things, so of course I went home and started writing code to model shell growth.

This image is one of the resulting virtual shells - ammonite-like shell with growth ribs and with the shell rendered transparent to show the internal structure (simulated “septa”, chamber divisions, and a simple siphuncle).

Obviously it’s not a photograph but, honestly, I think it's beautiful!

This image is one of the resulting virtual shells - nautilus-like shell with smooth appearance rather than having growth ribs and with the shell rendered transparent to show the internal structure (simulated “septa”, chamber divisions, and a simple siphuncle).

Seriously curious, has anyone else written a song about the fourth dimension, yet?

Here's mine.

Scientific writing, haiku form...

People say dogs, cats
Horses feel emotions but
why not chicken joy?

Based on a scoping review I'm working on covering human views of animal emotions. I may start all of my presentations now with haikus.

Are you someone who is intensely curious about the universe? This design is for the lifelong learners, the science nerds, and the stargazers who find beauty in the details of a neuron, the vastness of a galaxy, and the precision of a telescope.

Whether you are obsessed with astronomy, biology, or the deep mysteries of philosophy, this hand-lettered illustration captures that "need to know" energy. It’s perfect for STEM students, teachers, or anyone with a dark academia aesthetic who loves vintage scientific sketches and space exploration. From rocket ships to anatomical skulls, every icon represents a different path of intellectual discovery. Stay curious, stay bold, and keep exploring the unknown. 🚀✨

C’est vraiment une technique plus complexe qu’elle en a l’air. 😮
Les baleines à bosse ont vraiment optimisé leur méthode.

Et ça va même au-delà ! 🧠
Je te parle ici des baleines à bosse de l’hémisphère sud 🌍

Mais celles de l’hémisphère nord ont optimisé leur technique autrement…
On parle vraiment là d’habitudes CULTURELLES différentes ! ✨

C’est d’ailleurs la même chose pour leurs chants 🎶
Selon les régions, les modes sont différentes et les tubes musicaux changent chaque année ! 😲

Found something unexpectedly beautiful under the #microscope today. Not the most ideal #HEK293 morphology, but still mesmerizing in its own way.

Tales from the Poles - APECS Netherlands

Tales from the Poles Tales from the Poles is a collaborative storytelling project organized by APECS Netherlands and the UK Polar Network. Its aim is to bring together diverse voices connected to the Arctic and Antarctic, including scientists, Early Career Researchers (ECRs), community members, station staff, artists and anyone who has lived
