As a biomedical illustrator, I don't like Tregs because you never know how to color-code them. Like, are they good? Are they bad? Are they immunity, or part of TME? Always complex color-coding decisions that end up in brown-ish green in 90% of cases.

This is so cool. Sperm whales are probably the most amaizing animals on Earth.

Have to admit, even brilliant Western actors are not very good in expressing what is called a "resting slavic face".

It’s great when you get the chance to model a complete, functioning eukaryotic replication fork while working on a commercial project.

What a great reference for 3D modeling.

While I agree that the pups aren't true dire wolves, I still find this to be exciting and interesting news. I enjoyed working with the Colossal team on the short animations, which they featured on their website and in the video about the project.

Pluto is about to eclipse Sun, submerging most of Charon in darkness with only source of light being stars and glowing ring of Pluto's blue atmosphere. #pluto #astronomy #space #art

I cried when I first listened to Khlyvnyuk singing this song. A man of amazing talent and courage. I was a fan of his band Boombox some 15 years ago. The Kiffness is ok, but I wouldn’t put it as the song released by him. He just rode the wave of the moment. The tragic and horrible moment.

Today I learned that a newly discovered snake species was named after my friend and former university classmate, Nick Poyarkov. Welcome, Lycodon poyarkovi sp. nov. novataxa.blogspot.com/2025/01/lyco...

Amazing!

Somebody could defuse this whole Greenland obsession by explaining the Mercator projection to Trump.

Same in Stockholm.

I enjoy #FluorescenceFriday but don't have much to share because we aren’t microscopists. However, we tried to imitate fluorescence images in a couple of projects.

I wrote 15 different scripts in about a couple of weeks mostly on hematology, oncology, and NGS. That’s on top of managing several projects that are already in production. I’m exhausted and very much looking forward to holidays already.

OpenOrganelle is a repo of #CellBiology data, segmented from electron #microscopy at #HHMIJanelia by Aubrey Weigel and the CellMap team, the Saalfeld lab ( @herrsaalffeld.sky.social) and the Hess lab. Here's a macrophage cell, rendered with #Blender driven by neuVid (helpful for more than neurons).

Heja Sverige!

New stuff from WEHI team!

This beautiful PDB Molecule of the Month image reminds me of the book Molecular Aesthetics, where I came across a thought about the beauty of symmetrical molecular structures compared to disordered ones.

Oh wow.

Hmmm, I think now I also celebrate (technically, not THAT Holliday junction, but close): vimeo.com/923512124?sh...

Recently, my Twitter feed stopped providing me with relevant and important information. Bluesky is different—it's nice to see posts like this, especially when every other of our animation projects involves showing TME and immune cell activation.

One of my favorite artists, Arkhip Kuindzhi, paints trees in a way that reminds me of protein complexes on the surface of a cell or a virus.

For #FluorescenceFriday, a found an old video of MDA-MB-231 cells in a dense collagen matrix dividing, acquired on a lattice lightsheet microscope at the @aicjanelia.bsky.social. Mitotic chromosomes are fun to watch! This was just a quick test video, hence the limited but still impressive quality.

Hey folks! I got a tattoo of my beloved PIEZO ion channel on my arm! Now I can show how they activate (flatten) under pressure by flexing—Will add a bit of performance art to my science talks 🧪🧠.

Thrilled to share: out in @natureportfolio.bsky.social (!) just in time for Thanksgiving, the dinosaurian history of how your turkey does the twist. Fibular reduction enabled mid-drumstick mobility, unlocking extreme knee long-axis rotation in theropods 🍗🦖🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-08251-w

Cool!

🚨 I want to gather all artists working in Biology, Cell Biology, or Molecular Biology illustration If you know any artists who create this kind of work, let me know so I can add them here. Drop a comment to join! 💬 go.bsky.app/KWAeJxp

Happy #FluorescenceFriday. Did you know fly larvae can see with their skin? Well, at least they have light-sensitive neurons lining their body wall.

We created this short animation over four years ago, and I would really love to revisit the project using all the new tools, data, and capabilities we have now. Hopefully, we’ll have the opportunity to return to modeling viruses in the future. vimeo.com/417208044?sh...

My half-hearted attempt to start a structural virology starter pack. Could be useful for conference organisation in the future! 😀 go.bsky.app/Qxv95BL Comment below if you'd like me to add you, or anyone you recommend! #virology #cryoEM

We have a dermatologist in our team. He’s a brilliant guy, who apart from being a trained MD finished an art school when he was a kid, so he not only consults the CG team on science, anatomy, and pathology, but also makes storyboards for the animations. So, now we are working on…1/3

The dissolving sucrose we animated for American Chemical Society about three years ago.

Whoa!!

Nice!

Just a nice peptide-drug conjugate we rendered couple of years ago #molviz #visualscience

Comfort movie

So cool!

Last year's Christmas comic. I am so sorry

Brilliant stuff: www.netflix.com/us/title/811... Thanks to @greenrat.bsky.social for the recommendation.

Our new case study. It was a super interesting project for absolutely amazing guys who just published in Nature: visual-science.com/projects/hig...

My team made several short animation fragments for Startalk’s new video about Mercury in retrograde: youtu.be/0NL2m3Uac_o?...

Trying cranberry and horseradish infusions. 3 weeks to go.

"It's Raining Men" claims that for the first time in history, it's gonna start raining men. But that doesn't preclude prehistoric man rain. Perhaps settlements like Çatalhöyük were built to weather periodic man storms, and were eventually abandoned because climate change flooded the area with men.

🌄At the dawn of a new life, mammalian oocytes need to safely store what will be required for early embryogenesis. Out now in Cell, the Schuh lab et al shed light on cytoplasmic lattices, enigmatic structures that accumulate and store proteins needed by the early embryo! #sciart #scicomm

When I was at school, my classmate signed my chemistry textbook on behalf of the authors.

From food to work. Here is my team’s latest demo reel: visual-science.com/projects/dem...

My first post here. And my first take on the Guri cabbage.
