#ArtvsArtist 2025 it’s been…a year Thankful to still be out here making art. Remember to be nice, use your turn signal, tell your friends you love them, and as always, screw a-eye ✌️

Any sci art folks in LA available? #Sciart🐡

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

Afternoon painting session at The Huntington ☀️

The amount of AI generated art in slides at this conference, primarily used by older scientists, is killing me. Scientists please. Don’t use these ai platforms to make your figures or slides. They look bad and I have yet to see them meaningfully improve the message of talks.

The Trump administration has finalized a plan to open the coastal plain of Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil and gas drilling, renewing long-simmering debate over whether to drill in one of the nation's most sensitive wilderness areas. n.pr/42WZfy6

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

These attacks on vaccines, tylenol, fluoridation of water, masks, etc is to keep everyone so distracted that nobody has the energy to ask - why are so many lacking access to medical care? - why is gun violence #1 cause of death in kids? - why is life expectancy falling? - why are meds unaffordable?

Whenever someone questions market impacts of GenAi, show them this article. Make them read each heart breaking story. People’s livelihoods are being negatively impacted, by a tech that relied on the work of those same people to function at capacity. The whole thing makes me sick.

We have an exciting #InverteFest announcement! We're going to create an #InverteFest artist/writer collaboration anthology! Artists and writers will be paired together to create collaborated pieces which we'll collect into an anthology. All are welcome. Apply here: forms.gle/6zHzs7P8kzGF...

“It’s just a tool! People used to hate on photoshop too.” Take away my photoshop, take away my tablets, I can still draw. Take away your plagiarism machine and what are you gonna do? Shout prompts at me?

Show me all the skulls! 💀💀Quote repost with your skull art. #medicalillustration #SciArt #medart

That’s a wrap on #AMI2025! Big love to all the volunteers, organizers, speakers and my wonderful colleagues who make this conference what it is, an absolute freaking blast! See you all in 2026! #medart #medicalillustration #sciart

Thinking about devastating cuts to NSF: US gov-funded science has been the engine upon which most of the tech wealth was generated. But the oligarchs (currently hoarding much of that $) think it’s their own brilliance & not the accident of standing close to the scientific engine that made them rich.

I have a very smol starter pack of resource accounts. It probably needs to be updated since I made it back when Bluesky was like half as active ❤️ Let me know if you're a resource provider and I will add!

1. Whenever you see really vicious and widespread "spontaneous" attacks on scientific findings that challenge powerful economic interests, you can be assured that corporate lobbyists have been busy behind the scenes. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

This is literally how the Holocaust started, and honestly I'm tired of saying so

Amidst the general chaos, I forgot to mention the 2nd volume of Graphic Anatomy (Cuore) just came out! www.beccogiallo.it/negozio/grap... It was a pleasure working with the team at #GraphicMedicine Italia and exploring this fascinating organ ♥️ Here are some of my favorite pages #scicomm #sciart

Some of the amazing medical illustrators who worked at the CDC are gone. “If human-to-human transmission of the avian flu happened tomorrow, and the agency wanted to hold a press briefing in its studio, they don’t have a full-time employee who can operate the sound.”

I love science and people and the people doing science. Long live space soybeans!!

this was also the team that worked on the ebola and zika public health campaigns. this is is a huge loss of skill and experience for medical and scientific communications.

The CDC illustration team that created the infamous "spiky blob seen around the world," this SARS-CoV-2 illustration, was fired yesterday. Call your congressfolks. Save science. #medicalillustration #SciArt

Scary. Mayday. The Museum of the American Indian, the Blacksonian. A lot of cultural treasures of nonwhite peoples the government has been protecting are under threat.

Got to visit the @hunterianmuseum.bsky.social and Anatomy and Pathology Museum at the @collegeofsurgeons.bsky.social today! Incredible stuff!

Could an AI make completely unnoticeable adjustments, repeatedly shifting the same label back and forth by one pixel? DIDN'T THINK SO

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

Join us online on Sat Apr 5 @ 11am US ET for our next workshop! Rick Simonson will show us advanced sketching techniques for #SciArt. Learn brainstorming & rapid sketching skills to help quickly capture & develop ideas. $100 members / $130 others, includes recording access buff.ly/YtkqWUn

my latest cover for the journal! i had to figure out how to paint urine, but i think it looks more like beer now

GNSI members, you have 2 DAYS LEFT to submit your #SciArt for the 2025 GNSI Juried Members Exhibition! It's time to move that to-do to to-done. 😉 buff.ly/40Okh16 Not a GNSI member? You can join today and submit your work to the exhibition immediately!

I created two NOAA infographics for my senior project at #UGA. So far still visible to the public, but with this administration censoring science and gutting #NOAA, I hope they don’t disappear… #SaveNOAA #SciArt #ClimateScience

ohhhhh my god kamala seriously is emailing for money right now. are y'all going to use that money to just print more stupid little useless signs to hold up? look, if democrats start literally biting and scratching people then i'll kick them five bucks.

Very awesome opportunity for California mural artists!! #SciArt🐡

I worry that the focus on NOAA's weather predicting value is ignoring the millions of other ways NOAA researchers enrich communities and local economies. There are no oysters without NOAA. There are no blue crabs without NOAA. NOAA trains teachers. NOAA is the lifeblood of coastal communities.

a little sneaky peek of my page for INSANE comics AMI 2025 👀 #AMI2025 #SciArt

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

Recap on the current US science situation, it seems like: All fed funding still paused NIH study sections paused NSF grants paused for a year Colleges pausing grad school signups I'm trying incredibly hard not to be doomerist but it seems like our jobs are about to be unsustainable. Let's discuss 🧪

I just want to make my silly little art, not become an expert in politics and beg my representatives to do their damn jobs.
