NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Absolutely delighted by my design for this year's work pumpkin decorating contest. I don't even care if anyone else likes it, I just had the best time with it 🤓👩‍🎨 Parts of a cell but make it spooky 👻🦠 #sciart

I’m not wasting an ounce of energy on JD Vance’s recent statement about those guy’s being racist/sexist/etc. Those who WANT to know know what he is already. So when he is what he is, we don’t get surprised, additionally outraged or feel the need to talk about him more. We know. Onward. #NoKings

Don’t forget.

Taking close up photos of some art for graphic elements on my new website.... Here's some of my favorite shapes that appeared over the last year 🤩

(1/2) The Dana Foundation has launched a rapid response bridge funding opportunity for work impacted by recent shifts in federal funding. We encourage scholars, practitioners, and teams doing work that falls within the Foundation's mission area of neuroscience and society to apply. #neurosky

you don’t understand bro, if we didn’t lie, no one would buy our product 😩

Surprised no one has snapped up this deal yet - you can find it here: www.laurabundesen.com/shop/art

Trying out some new stickers and kicking myself for missing some rendering errors on the proofs! At least I only ordered 10. And the sentiment still stands 🤑 #sciart

Cicada emergence

Seen today by the #Seattle Center. #abolishICE

Composition: C - Earth tones: A After several test canvases, I think I found my way to a more earthy palette that still feels like me 🤗 Ready to start this custom order!

No one close to me watches The Bear and I just want to talk about how good this last season is!

More brain pieces are in the works 🧠 (Layer 1 is the cerebral cortex portion of a midsaggital view.) I think i might permanently switch to wood panels over stretched canvas 🤔 #sciart

Just finished my first @skypeascientist.bsky.social talk with a 2nd grade class in the Bronx. So fun! Got to talk about the brain, a bit about why animal research is important, and show some cute videos of mice doin' stuff. The kids were also so excited to see my cat, so we have that in common 😸

Lots of great stuff in San Francisco but these two stretching sea lions were my favorite probably. They sat like that for minutes on end! Loving life.

You asked for it, you got it. Biology is Bigger than Binaries is now on a shirt! Designed by @franzanth.bsky.social, printed here in Philly on 100% cotton Next Level Tees. We've got... ironically 2 colors to choose from lmao. Pre-order open until May 31! squidfacts.bigcartel.com/product/bina...

I'm not one of those "kids these days" people but really, these are the humans that will be running things in 10-20 years, and they aren't learning how to use their brains. Depressing on a theoretical and a practical level 🫠

This time 6yr ago, I was writing my PhD and making brain paintings to give my advisors. Today, I am embarrassed by those early edition pieces 😅 but still very proud of my PhD 🤓 If you've got 2025 grads you're proud of, I'm offering 25% off #sciart at victoriacorbit.com/art-store in May 🎉🎓🤩

Is anyone else unable to throw away reusable containers? My husband thinks I have a problem 😂 Trying to figure out what kind of biology art to draw on this 🐻shaped glass jar I've acquired 🤔 I have an idea but it might get weird...

I'm pretty pleased with how this little test piece turned out 🧠 Should I start adding anatomy labels to all my art? I like that it gives them some educational value, but it def changes the aesthetic as well. #sciart

Okay #artsky, what's your favorite way to seal paint on glass? I drew a brain circuit on this jar and I don't want to ruin it by choosing the wrong varnish 😖

Just took this amazing photo of my cat and my husband said I have to share it with "everyone" 😂🧛‍♀️

Concerned mentors wishing we could speak with our senators about attacks on science and students @sarahross1.bsky.social & Michael Gold 🤔

Problems with pharma don't mean that quackery works. Problems in aircraft design don’t mean that magic carpets can actually fly. - Ben Goldacre

130+ unique #sciart paintings. Can we sell one of them today? 🤞 artologica.etsy.com

The first amendment is being violated en masse!! Free Mahmoud Khalil! Reinstate Columbia’s federal funding!

Couldn't agree more.

Great showing at Stand Up For Science in Philly. Happy to be out there with all my coworkers at NDRI showing our support for researchers and the science community as a whole. It's not normal to have to argue in favor of science and truth but here we are, together.

Hey Philly people, come to the Stand Up For Science rally tomorrow at City Hall! I'll be speaking around noon! There are rallies all over the country, you can find your local rally here standupforscience2025.org/local-event-...

First time making protest signs, how did I do? I want to add a little visual pizazz but didn't get there yet. I'll be out at city hall for #StandUpForScience in Philly tomorrow 💪✊️🔬🧬

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country. This Friday, where will you be? standupforscience2025.org

Results of this weekend's creativity-rut resin sesh 🪽🧠 I think it's final coat on all of these 🙌 #sciart

Live like a libertarian! Don't think the planes are safe? Just don't fly. Don't think the food is safe? Just don't eat.

When I can't get my creativity going, there's *always* something that needs epoxy resin 😅 Today's baby step ⬇️ WIPs - metallic cortical gyri canvas and neon microscopy-inspired coasters #sciart

She is finished, signed and soon on her way to her new home. I’m calling her ‘Mandala Mind’. 16x20 with fabric, thread, sparkles and paint. #SciArt #FiberArt #Embroidery

Just a reminder that Germany was the center of scientific progress until the Nazis suppressed, drove away, or killed all the non-Nazi scientists.

Happy Valentine's Day to all the scientists and educators and people committed to knowledge and critical thinking skills 💗🫶👩‍🔬🧑‍🏫🧑‍⚕️ #sciart

Nothing like finally finishing the FULL first draft of writing you've been working on, for only 3hr at a time, for over a month 🙌📖 I've been writing about bioresources so in honor of feeling great, here are some organ magnets I made 🙃🧠🫀🫁 #sciart

GO BIRDSSSS 🦅💚🖤🦅💚🖤🦅💚🖤🦅💚🖤

It’s Super Bowl Sunday and Donald Trump has done pretty much nothing to lower your grocery costs. The President needs to buckle down and deliver on his promises.

Go birds 🦅💚🖤

*shakes head* 🙄

I keep meaning to post more #sciart photos here, and keep getting distracted by updates on the dumpster fire that is the US right now. Anyway, here's my favorite coronal section of a mouse brain, which I loved looking at with pretty colors under the scope during my time in academia 🔬🤩

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.
