A stye forms when the normally benign Staph bacteria on the skin infect the eyelid. It's interesting when a normally benign bacteria or organism becomes pathogenic under the right circumstances. So often, in #medicine, does everything depend on the context! And the dosage makes the poison! #SciArt

"Around the world! Around the world just as it should be!" says president of #Harvard Alan Gerber. Knowledge seekers from around the world only serve to make each of us all the more rich: we all have so much to learn, and so much to give! #University is the place to cultivate this exchange.

Verruca are small growths found on the skin that are caused by some strains of Human Pathaloma Virus (HPV). In this #illustration, I focus on pushing the expression of the character, as well with the dynamism of the composition #medicalillustration #Sciart #infographic #patienteducation

Our dead NSF grant proposal had most of these words. Bad words. We used bad words.

Thanks to the roughly 100 people who showed up for today's Rally for Justice hosted by @cycletoronto.bsky.social. Look forward to attending tomorrow's court challenge. #BikeTO #TOpoli #ONpoli #VisionZero

Very troubling new study + mind boggling how large an effect this is having (on sea levels and even Earth’s rotation!) 🧪🌎 “Changes are likely irreversible while humans are alive,” is a worrying turn of phrase. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

A Brown-headed Cowbird for the #BirdWhisperer challenge 🪶 I really enjoyed trying colored pencils on a saturated paper with this one 😊 #BirdArt #Animalart #Sciart ✏️ 🎨

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology... In 2021 I teamed up with The Royal Mint and the Natural History Museum again to create the Mary Anning Coin Collection. Here's the limited edition print I designed and signed. #SciComm #PaleoArt #MaryAnning #Dimorphodon #Temnodontosaurus #Plesiosaurus #Coins

long periods of #AtrialFibrillation can result in #stroke. Irregular heartbeats prevent the atria from fully emptying, creating areas of stagnant blood along the atrial wall that are vulnerable to clot formation. If this clotting occurs in the left atria, there is a risk of stroke. #SciArt #ArtShare

ARTISTS! Let’s do an art share! There are now nearly 31 MILLION Bluesky accounts! In a world that feels particularly chaotic, let’s take a moment to find each other and celebrate one another. Spread the post to reach the most! 💙

We CT scanned thousands of vertebrates from US natural history collections and made them freely available. Countless people have used the data for research (>200 pubs) and to learn anatomy/morphology. www.morphosource.org/projects/000...

Little Diorama cubes! Such a cute concept.

Almost missed #portfolioday! 😆 Here is my spread celebrating my year as an illustrator in #2024 Excited and privileged to see everyones' gorgeous work today! #SciArt #medicalillustration

Nice to see #portfolioday taking over Bluesky! Here are 4 of my all time favorite #illustrations to kick off the year - check out my website for more #sciart and science #comics matteofarinella.com

Gorilla in four age stages. Illustrations commissioned by Christine Charvet's lab. #SciArt #art #primates #gorillas

One of my big surprises of 2024 was that we are actually making a lot of progress (albeit messy and with a great deal of argument) in the science of the origin of life on Earth. If you’re under 40, we’ll probably have a pretty good understanding of it in your lifetime.

As a lifelong dinosaur fan, I agree wholeheartedly! The artistic choices and visual storytelling that went into selling the majesty of these ancient creatures lives rent-free in my heart, forever.

The appearance of the #Measles rash on dark skin can look a lot different than the conventional signifiers on dark skin. The trademark rosacea of Measles may be lesser or even missing entirely, while blotchy patches of discolored skin known as macules may be found instead. #SciArt #MedicalArt

Thank you for the 5k! Time for a celebratory Friday Artshare! 💚 Introduce yourself and share your art 💚 Repost for visibility 💚 Share and support one-another 💚 Bonus: Share your upcoming year art-goals 🚫 SFW and human-made art only #art #artshare

Started another Jupiter! My favorite Juno spacecraft image. These are going to look great all mounted in frames. I’ll be finishing this one tomorrow

Those that know me know that I love #fantasy: Here is a #fantasymap that I have been working on! My references are my maps from my favorite #videogames, where I notice that maps become integral whenever a #player is tasked to navigate a virtual world that they can't see all of at once!

My #illustration of Diffuse Large B-Cell variation Non-hodgkins #Lymphoma. In this piece, I describe how the B-cells of this cancer exploit the lymphatic system to become malignant. #SciArt #Medicalillustration #Medicine #pathology

after death, life | 38x36 inch | 2016 From my skull narrative series. A collection with written narratives based thematically around 'bones contain stories, so I told stories with bones'. I think I'll share one each #oldworkwednesday #sciart 🐡 #stilllifepainting #art #bones #skulls Narrative 🧵1/6

I #designed and #animated these characters for an original #patienteducation animation for #camh! Created in Adobe #Illustrator and animated in #AfterEffects, these colorful characters were well recieved by the patient advisory council during the creation of this project.

My #infographic on Pulmonary #Tuberculosis. Although not often talked about, tuberculosis has had a complex and long-standing history with humankind that is unlike any other disease, while still posing a prominent #globalhealth concern to this day.

#Hello bluesky! 👋 I'm excited to be on a new platform. 😊 Today I'd like to share one of my favorite digital paintings. It is an artistic rendition of capillaries in the dermis bleeding from a Dengue Virus infection. #medicalillustration #scienceillustration
