All Year Long

I’m back from my year-long “vacation”. Lots of things to catch up now. It’s almost summer, but the weather people don’t know that.

"I, Bacteria" for Summer School on Symbiosis: old friends and foes The idea for this illustration came from the Ted talk 'How bacteria "talk"' by Bonnie Bassler and I borrowed the name from the book-turned-movie I, Robot. The poster was designed by the amazing Catarina Julio, from Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência. 

The illustration was commissioned for the Summer School on Symbiosis for PhD students that will be happening between July and August at Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência, Portugal. Learn more here.

Kendrik and Lamarr

An homage to my new discoveries: Kendrick Lamar and Hedy Lamarr

PS: I know Kendrick's name is wrong (Kendrik) but it was necessary for a matter of aesthetics (so it wouldn't look so much tinier than Lamarr).

Got dopa? Come to the science side, we have dopa(mine). (I honestly tried to make this as misleading as possible but I couldn't find any reference as 'dope' being a nickname for 'dopamine'. Too bad. Zoom to see the dopamine molecule under the microscope.)
