#Anthrax the Bacillus anthracis #PathogenPortrait has been reinstated on redbubble, but who knows for how long - send anthrax in the post while you still can?

(Not suggesting actual terrorism here...)

‘Anthrax’ by eliza-coli

Pathogen Portrait: Bacillus anthracis spores can lay dormant for decades, as tested on Gruinard Island in Scotland in 1942. Apparently it’s safe now! • Millions of unique designs by independent artists. Find your thing.

#wip - sketching some ideas for a #sciart commission.

#MastoArt #ScienceMastodon #MDR #AMR #microbiology #illustrator #cartoon

A new #Illustration for #FEMSmicro blog: Meet the #Industry.

I wanted to mashup large scale (factory) processes with tiny scale (#microbiology) processes. So I made the culture flask HUGE, like it was a bit of the #factory building.

I also wanted to contrast messy #biological & uniform #industrial processes. That's why there's a regular pattern of filamentous #microbes growing in tidy rows but they're still all a bit different.

My #ThrowbackThursday #sciart continues!

Flagella origami - mixed media, 2016.

From the first year of #freelance #ScienceIllustration, I bring you the #StructuralBiology of bacterial #flagella filaments. This was commissioned as part of the branding for a flagella & type-3 secretion conference in #Japan.

I had to learn how to make an #origami pinwheel to do this - it took me ages. Then I realised the elaborate patterned paper I'd chosen was too wild, so I had to make the whole thing again!

It's for an #openaccess textbook on biological #psychology published by the University of Sussex.

Now... can you work out what on earth I was going for here? 😂

The #anatomy of a #bacteriophage - Linocut, 2020. Commissioned by Rob Edwards:

I wanted to make something a bit dry visually appealing and simple.

Welcome to the beginning of my #throwbackthursday #sciart series - where I bring something out of my archives, because old doesn't mean bad or boring...

First up, unlocking a sequencing democracy! Making large scale sequencing of bacterial #genomes and the data analysis affordable for all!
