Comic-Con was absolutely magical! From discussing the science behind Wicked, to interacting with kids at the STEAM Fair and mingling with pop culture fans at the STEM Mixer - every encounter was inspiring. So grateful I got to spark excitement about #STEM alongside our amazing IF/THEN Ambassadors!

In anticipation of this year's #ComicCon2025, here are some pictures from last year's amazing events!

I'm so excited to present at #ComicCon2025 this week! Join my panel to learn about the intersection between #STEM and the magic of Oz in 'Defying Gravity: Exploring the STEM and Ethics of Magic in Wicked', and meet many amazing #WomenInSTEM Ambassadors! #SDCC25 #SciComm #STEAMeducation #STEAMSquad

This drawing is an homage to Sir Paul Nurse's pioneering work on the #CellCycle, along with others who laid the groundwork for what we know today, and it's featured on the poster and abstract book of the Salk Cell Cycle meeting. Huge thanks to @salkinstitute.bsky.social‬ and conference organizers!

A common metaphor to describe cellular signaling pathways is an electronic circuit board, which sums up positive and negative input signals and transmits them to the output, which determines entry into mitosis. This is based on a realistic schematic that would be functional when built!

Very excited to share my brand new 'Cell Cycle Circuit' drawing! It shows a signaling circuit that regulates mitotic entry in fission yeast, where a protein complex (Cdc2/CDK1-Cyclin B) integrates both positive (Cdc25) and negative signals (Wee1 & Mik1/Myt1) to decide when to divide. #CellCycle2025

Wow, really? What a small world! I would have loved to say hello, but I was also very tired and jetlagged. It's my first time in Cambridge and I absolutely love it!

First day at the VIZBI conference and very excited for some fascinating talks and discussions on visualizing biological data at the beautiful @magdalenecollege.bsky.social in Cambridge!

My first time presenting a poster on #SciArt was at VIZBI 2019. I was thrilled to meet an amazing community of creative scientists working on data visualization, science illustrators, and people who transitioned between research and science art. This experience that has led me to where I am today!

I couldn't be more honored to speak at the #VIZBI meeting on Visualizing Biological Data! If you love science visualization/art and haven't heard of VIZBI, please take a moment right now to check it out and consider participating (including a virtual option). I hope to see many of you there!

I'm humbled to have my art on the poster for a very special symposium that celebrates Prof Rick Kahn and his work on ARF GTPases and G proteins! The drawing highlights the diversity of cellular structures because these proteins are so crucial in regulating a wide variety of processes in the cell!

What a pleasure to participate in the #SuperSTEMSaturday at CSUSM - the largest and most unique STEM fair I have ever experienced! Kids got to experience the beauty of science with a real microscope, science jewelry, and #Microscopya. Huge thanks to Robyn Araiza and our amazing volunteers!

Yay! Welcome 😊

The book focuses on how scientists can translate their research into captivating game mechanics, and include gamers into the process of discovery. It’s an inspiring call to action, and I truly hope it will help spark a new wave of science games! Check it out here: mitpress.mit.edu/978026255072...

Never would I have thought that my words would be on the back cover of a book! #GamingCancer is a fascinating read that highlights the value of gaming in advancing scientific discovery. Congratulations @jyoshimi.bsky.social & @mitpress.bsky.social! #SeriousGames #CitizenScience #GameDev #SciComm

Thank you so much!

My #SciArt exhibition 'The Double Life of Science and Art' is being featured at the New Village Arts Theater alongside their powerful new play 'The Half-Life of Marie Curie' about #WomenInSTEM! The play runs until February 23 - more info here: newvillagearts.org/half-life-ma...

Thank you so much, all the credit for the photo goes to the amazing team who worked on the calendar! I absolutely love your art, by the way 😊

For any women in STEM who see this and think it’s as cool as I do, sign up to be a role model or drop me a message and I’d be happy to nominate you! www.seeitbeitstemit.com/know-a-role-...

😮🤩 Wow, a completely filled room at our #CellBio2024 #SciArt session! What an amazing evening with inspiring talks about creativity, education and microscopy. Huge thanks to our speakers and audience. Please reach out if you're interested in co-organizing or speaking next year!

It's such a pity you weren't able to join in person, but we were so honored to exhibit your amazing art! Looking forward to our next opportunity to collaborate 😍

Thank you for participating and spreading the word! Can't wait to share photos of the event soon!

Thank you so much for participating, it wouldn't be the same without your amazing work! I can't wait to share photos of the event and hope you can join in person next time 😊

Thank you so much for being part of our art show! I can't wait to share photos of the event and hope you can join in person next time 😊

Wow, great idea! I hope they will love it! I had to google the LPS program and it sounds like an amazing initiative. Thank you for being part of it!

Playing Games to Learn Cell Biology Video games get microscopic in an educational science outreach project.

What an honor to have #Microscopya featured in The Scientist Magazine! I'm so grateful about the opportunity to help get creative students excited about #STEM and cell biology! Check it out to learn more about the background behind this project: www.the-scientist.com/playing-game...

It was such a pleasure to host you both at our #CellBio2024 #SciArt Show & Reception! Thank you for making this event so special, and for bringing your creativity and enthusiasm to our community 😍
