I have been turning a bunch of my own drawings (rendered from SEM images) of diatoms that I post onto Redbubble shop (www.redbubble.com/people/Diato...) as coloring pages. Feel free to use them for your outreach. Here's another one #Surirella.

A colorized image of a diatom SEM micrograph. The diatom is colored in mostly frosty blues and purples.

A Cyclotella (close to C. quillensis, but not quite) from Fox Lake, IN. Present in a sediment core we collected as part of the Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (student: Sydney Williams). Color has been added (me).

First play through of the digital version of #DiatomsTheGame in the solo mode (win). Now that I have a sense of it I should play against someone. :)
