Another one from the archives. These are neurons from the Xenopus tadpole optic tectum that we reconstructed in my lab using confocal microscopy, as time lapse images, in an intact animal. You can see them grow in response to visual stimulation. The background is based in the pattern we use to activate the developing visual system of the tadpoles. Visual activity makes neurons grow! #sciart

I just really wanted kasha varnishkes, but figured I needed something to go with it, so I roasted the chicken.

Upgraded my espresso grinder! One of my two top productivity tools.

Here’s a cool project. Our Neuroscience department last year celebrated it’s 30th year. I was asked to come up with some artwork to commemorate. I collected images from people in the department related to their work: micrographs, data, figures, blots, lab notebooks, histology, pictures of equipment, experimental organisms, all sorts of stuff. I used these to generate 12 12x12 panels that incorporate these images. They will be printed on canvas and displayed in departmental space. Check it out:
