Absolutely delighted by my design for this year's work pumpkin decorating contest.
I don't even care if anyone else likes it, I just had the best time with it 🤓👩‍🎨

Parts of a cell but make it spooky 👻🦠

I’m not wasting an ounce of energy on JD Vance’s recent statement about those guy’s being racist/sexist/etc.

Those who WANT to know know what he is already. So when he is what he is, we don’t get surprised, additionally outraged or feel the need to talk about him more.

We know. Onward. #NoKings

Don’t forget.

you don’t understand bro, if we didn’t lie, no one would buy our product 😩

A hand painted square contains a hoop with a printed rainbow brain sporting the word ‘woke’ in hand embroidery

Surprised no one has snapped up this deal yet - you can find it here: www.laurabundesen.com/shop/art

Bumper sticker that says "Fund Science Not Billionaires" with each letter in "SCIENCE" filled in with illustration of a different type of science.

Trying out some new stickers and kicking myself for missing some rendering errors on the proofs!
At least I only ordered 10.

And the sentiment still stands 🤑

Composition: C -

After several test canvases, I think I found my way to a more earthy palette that still feels like me 🤗

Ready to start this custom order!

No one close to me watches The Bear and I just want to talk about how good this last season is!

More brain pieces are in the works 🧠
(Layer 1 is the cerebral cortex portion of a midsaggital view.)

I think i might permanently switch to wood panels over stretched canvas 🤔

Just finished my first @skypeascientist.bsky.social talk with a 2nd grade class in the Bronx.

So fun! Got to talk about the brain, a bit about why animal research is important, and show some cute videos of mice doin' stuff.

The kids were also so excited to see my cat, so we have that in common 😸

Several docks with 15-20 sea lions sunbathing on them, with the Golden Gate Bridge in the distant background.

Lots of great stuff in San Francisco but these two stretching sea lions were my favorite probably. They sat like that for minutes on end! Loving life.

2 versions of the same design, all of which say "Biology is bigger than binaries", with a central image of a bee, a clownfish, and a lily. The one on. the left is pink, the right is orange,

You asked for it, you got it.

Biology is Bigger than Binaries is now on a shirt!

Designed by @franzanth.bsky.social, printed here in Philly on 100% cotton Next Level Tees.

We've got... ironically 2 colors to choose from lmao.

Pre-order open until May 31!

I love these 😍 Now to choose a color.....

I'm not one of those "kids these days" people but really, these are the humans that will be running things in 10-20 years, and they aren't learning how to use their brains.

Depressing on a theoretical and a practical level 🫠

Glossy canvas with green neurons and red microglia painted in different layers on a purple, blue, and black background.

This time 6yr ago, I was writing my PhD and making brain paintings to give my advisors.
Today, I am embarrassed by those early edition pieces 😅 but still very proud of my PhD 🤓

If you've got 2025 grads you're proud of, I'm offering 25% off #sciart at victoriacorbit.com/art-store in May 🎉🎓🤩

Is anyone else unable to throw away reusable containers? My husband thinks I have a problem 😂

Trying to figure out what kind of biology art to draw on this 🐻shaped glass jar I've acquired 🤔
I have an idea but it might get weird...

@edcclayton.bsky.social I think you may have hit on a buzzword in your last comment 😂

I love the concept of a portrait of a brain area 😂 would be thrilled to work on this when you're ready!

Gold colored brain painted on a black background with red and yellow swirls. Names of different cortical gyri are written in black.

I'm pretty pleased with how this little test piece turned out 🧠

Should I start adding anatomy labels to all my art?
I like that it gives them some educational value, but it def changes the aesthetic as well.

#sciart

Glad we aren't the only ones who think so 😹

Painted glass jar sitting on a sunny windowsill. Neurons are drawn in pink or green, with the pink ones extending straight up towards the top of the jar and the green ones showing more extensive branching. Both neurons are contacted by blue or purple lines extending from the bottom of the jar.

Okay #artsky, what's your favorite way to seal paint on glass?

I drew a brain circuit on this jar and I don't want to ruin it by choosing the wrong varnish 😖

Just took this amazing photo of my cat and my husband said I have to share it with "everyone" 😂🧛‍♀️
