What’s your sign?
I was campaigning to highlight achievements of Polish Women in Palaeontology. And bang, here's a children's book about this very topic. 🧵
Rarely you come across books covering both, turbulent Polish history.
The fresh hell of LLMs
In case anyone needs it for their syllabi, my statement in gen-Ai from the minicomic I made as a syllabus for class last semester. All online and printable here spinweaveandcut.com/fall-2025-sy...
In my postdoc times I used “Practical computing for biologists” by Haddock and Dunn - short table of contents in the photo. It has good examples and exercises. I don’t know anything newer though, this is from 2011
I recently worked with @amarques.bsky.social to make illustrations and finalize figures for three scientific publications focusing on the evolution and function of holocentric chromosomes
I can also help you illustrate your research with effective figures, graphical abstracts, and infographics 🧪🐡
Omg, thanks for sharing! Such joy
Asked my Intro Plant Bio students to make Valentine's day plant meme using what they learned in class so far, and dang, it gives me SO MUCH joy seeing all the submissions.
Some of my favs here: #valentinesday #ib103 #iamabotanist #plantjoy @botsocamerica.bsky.social l @plantteaching.bsky.social
Oh, that’s a great idea for another version, with earthworms, barnacles, and orchids 🪱
#DarwinDay is celebrating how Darwin’s scientific work, perseverance and intellectual bravery made biology the scientific field we know today, united through the concept of #evolution 🧪🐡

I’m a big fan!
Happy #DarwinDay 🧬🌿! To celebrate, why not share a story about #evolution with a #FutureScientist? My book, Little Changes, is a fun bedtime story for young readers to explore how small changes shape the living world.

How wonderful!
In 2018, Ilja Van Braeckel created a font based on Charles Darwin's handwriting for #DarwinDay. It was based on 12,000 pictures of Darwin's original manuscripts!
Link rot happened, and the original files are missing. I have put it up again here: drive.google.com/file/d/14Kcn...
Happy Darwin Day!
Today we celebrate Darwin Day! 🎉
Today is not just about celebrating Darwin, but about how evolutionary biology helps us address today’s challenges.
Evolution is not only about the past. It’s a way of thinking for building more sustainable futures.
How are you marking Darwin Day?
Celebrating the International Day of Women and Girls in Science! 🧪 Some of the amazing scientists that shaped Evolutionary Biology: Barbara McClintock, Jane Goodall, Rosalind Franklin… I’m also thinking about my wonderful academic mentors: @maurineneiman.bsky.social @pyhatanja.bsky.social
Reposted with alt text for people with screen readers - this is a welcome departure from how certain large organizations are handling revelations that high-profile members associated with and accepted money from Epstein and his organization, _AFTER 2008_ when he was convicted for soliciting a minor.
Excited for this. Teaching popgen is one of my favourite parts of my job and I've wondered about doing an online version of the class for sometime. Teaming up with @jrossibarra.bsky.social to do this is wonderful.
I agree, owls are really great. Which one is your favourite? #SuperbOwl 🦉🐡

Exquisite! Thanks for sharing
Just discovered the wonderful covers of 'Genes to Cells', the journal of the Molecular Biology Society of Japan @mbsj-official.bsky.social – absolutely beautiful!
here some examples inspired by mitosis, CRISPR, the DNA helix, and plant pigments
The new version has the apps integrated. I don’t think you can buy the old version anymore, after Canva bought Affinity. For now at least all the AI features are paid add-ons, so easy to avoid
I work with vector graphics using Affinity and it has a function ”select all” by colour or other characteristic. Now the new Affinity app also integrates the PS equivalent, so might be worth checking
Congratulations! What an achievement 💪
Impressive use of PowerPoint 😲 I’ve been using Affinity Designer, and since Canva bought it it’s free. Of course they have AI funtions, but they are paid add-ons, therefore easy to avoid
