FINALLY IT IS HERE and available for pre-order! 🧪 The Routledge Companion to Performance and Science, with my chapter, Blood Magic in Biotech -- a case study (Ch 23). In this chapter, I discuss my work with 16S rRNA sequencing of my vaginal microbiome over the duration of an entire menstrual cycle.

Saving this for later.

This is my DIY bioprinter in my kitchen, finishing up my first successful bioprint (with this machine) of a clitoris form in a homemade gelatin alginate bioink. I’m pretty sure it’s a world’s first. Tell me this isn’t the sexiest DIYbio you’ve ever seen! 🧪

In the spirit of Mother’s Day, here’s a clip of Björk two-piecing a reporter who was stalking her and her baby.

First, very rough print test with the bioprinter I built (hacked from a 3D printer) and which lives on my kitchen counter. Dinner, anyone? 🧪 Next up are all the refinements with extrusion rate, nozzle gauge, etc., etc., etc. Just using a simple gelatin-alginate bioink I cooked up on my stove.

My latest Substack post!

Reposting for my own research project interests, but my friends and followers may find this relevant, too.

I have a chapter in this newly published book, Blut (Blood), published by Akademie Hallein, Austria. Find out more here: schmiedehallein.com/archives/377...

Where do I sign up?

New Substack post: open.substack.com/pub/whitefea...

Metascience and AI Postdoctoral Fellowships Grants of up to $250,000 (USD) over up to two years will be awarded to social sciences and humanities postdoctoral researchers who study the implication of AI for Science. Deadline: April 10, 2025 @sloanfoundation.bsky.social 🧪 sloan.org/programs/dig...

An important course, especially in the regressive times we find ourselves in, globally. “From an independent research and practice perspective, we will delve into the effects and interconnections of health, technology, gender and difference, artivist/hacker influence and political experimentation.”

I finally had time to read this today. It's excellent. Erudite & provocative in all the right ways. ✨️I'm a big fan of your work @whitefeatherhunter.bsky.social

It's #SuberbOwl weekend and yes, this account will bring the owls 🦉

After discovering recently that my voice was cloned through AI and used by advertisers on Meta platforms to sell their products, I stole my voice back and spoofed their ad, using my own similar product that I’d created in a lab in 2018: a skin cream using enzymes I derived from my saliva microbes. 🧪

I’d love to know if trimethylamine was one of the compounds she identified.

AI cloned my voice and a company on the Meta platform used it in an ad to sell their beauty products. This IS MY VOICE, with some computer generated words thrown in. I fully suspect that the AI feature used audio from my many long overseas voice calls through Instagram messaging. Beware!

Good morning from paradise! Here on Maui I’m working on a project as part of ecoartspace’s Australian Dialogues — I’m looking at colonial and indigenous trans-plantation of plant species from Australia to the Hawaiian islands over the centuries, and how this has shaped Hawaiian cultural identity. 🧪

I’ve created an ecoartspace members art and science starter pack go.bsky.app/Si47knb

Best crowd ever!! 😌🫶

Looking forward to giving this talk in Cyprus next week!

New Substack post: “December 31 will mark the 40-week gestation period of these untouchable materials, hermetically sealed in glass, buried in horse shit, and fed with what I call arcanum sanguinis foemina, or female occult blood—and, menstruation is occult because it is hidden (occulted) knowledge”

Coming soon! My next talk in January. 🧪🐡

Hey, Bluesky, I have a Substack if you’re interested in longer form content! Latest post is written like a vignette, with weird musings in my kitchen-lab.

Really enamoured with this 3D print I did of an anatomical uterus today!

I had the privilege of participating in this ritual. 𖤐

Reposting this so that I can come back to it later and perhaps learn something.

Does someone have a Starter Park of science museums or institutions? Because @telus-spark.bsky.social, Calgary's science centre has joined the chat. 🧪

This but make it WOMAN ON A BICYCLE. Ahem.

Just hung this work again after being in storage for 3 years! From my 2018 project, Salivam. Large format print on mylar, mounted on a custom light box. This is an SEM capture of Bacillus cereus from my saliva, cultured on collagen. The microbes have degraded the collagen with proteolytic enzymes. 🧪

Always so many relationships between textiles and computation. Love this article that makes a connection between two quipus that store the same data in different configurations. Also love that some of them were made with human hair yarn, like my early textile works made of handspun human hair.

Post something before you start following people. That helps them know you're really "here" and that you might not be a bot. Reposting is okay when it's meaningful, but a lot of reposting just looks like a bot.

Hi, I’m WhiteFeather. I’m too smart for my own good, or I must be cheating. There’s no way I could have written that on my own.

I’m actually pretty tickled to have one of my AI renderings written about in this review of one of my current exhibitions (in Brooklyn). Also, an introduction to a new art term I haven’t seen before: Techpressionism. What do you think of the term?

The call is open for the Digital Ecologies III: Machine / Material / Land symposium and exhibition taking place on July 24-25 2025 in Bath. I am curating the Machine Futures strand. sites.google.com/view/digital... #digitalecologies #artandtechnoligy #soil #land #food #machines #criticalai

Crazy stuff in PNAS dental plaque bacterium 𝘊𝘰𝘳𝘺𝘯𝘦𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘶𝘮 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘪 can divide into an unprecedented 14 daughter cells at once—then each daughter cell starts growing immediately in a rare process called multiple fission, achieving 0.5 mm per day of expansion www.snexplores.org/article/bact...

After being alerted that there are hundreds (thousands) of scraper accounts on Bluesky lifting content, I’ve deleted posts where I directly uploaded images of my work since all images have a direct download option. I suppose the best strategy is to only post links to my website and process photos.

Dear SciArt 🐡 skywalkers, I have a question that I’d love your carefully considered answers to. I’ve noticed a division between artists (and scientists) who use AI for assorted purposes, and those who are “strictly no AI.” Can you tell me which camp you fall into, and why? I’d love to know more!

Excited to announce 3 #AcademicJobs in Humanities at Uni Strathclyde funded through the Charlotte Lythe bequest. I'm new here, so appreciate your help in getting the word out! The jobs are in History, Media and English/Creative Writing. Details below in my first bsky thread (drumroll please...)

#kitchenscience 🧪 #DIYbio About to test run my 3D printer before taking it to the lab at the Ottawa Heart Institute to start modifying it into a bioprinter.

Do you see what I see? 👀 #gestaltprinciples

✨ I’ve finally gathered enough amazing researchers to create a BlueSky starter pack for those studying the female reproductive tract! Please follow, share widely, and (self-)nominate anyone who should be included. Let’s grow this community together! ✨ 🧪 go.bsky.app/FyubCiJ

I started a #NativesinSTEM starter pack. If you want to be added, tell me a little bit about yourself, including who your people are and what you study go.bsky.app/4hoZMPV @taramcallister.bsky.social I'll try to figure out how to turn this into a feed too.

For new BlueSky users: It's always ritual. Every single post is ritual behavior.

It did, finally, this year: bsky.app/profile/gree...

1) Menstrual stem cell differentiation to neuronal types and cardiomyocytes, and hacking a cheap 3D printer into a bioprinter & 2) help, I work on every odd idea/theory I think about! 🧪

🚨 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

Here’s what’s on one of my bookshelves. Please share a photo of yours! 🧪

I just joined Bluesky six days ago and am really excited to be here with all of you stellar humans. If you’re curious, I just did this lil interview last week and it gives a pretty good overview of my professional practice. canvasrebel.com/meet-whitefe...
