Really proud to share this new daily podcast from @outsidemagazine that I've been producing for.

My first episode with @hellahgood9 is out now!

Is it just me or have spam filters gotten out of control?

I’m crowd sourcing blessings and curses for an art project! Do you have blessings or curses to bestow?

Highly open to interpretation images. poems. quotes. it just has to be able to appear in black and white on paper.

Thanks to Nadine Bridges of @One_Colorado, Zamora Evans and @steven_haden of @EnvisionYou2 and everyone else I talked to for the story!

Blockprinted via steamroller yesterday. I call this piece "BIRD Dog".....get it??😂

Also, at the end of this interview with @reefgenomics I had a 💡 moment: Coral is kinda the lichen of the ocean 🤯

My latest for @sciam with @mattgroh of the @MIT @medialab

Low key, hi key (👇🔑, ☝️🔑) inspired by this color combo aesthetique. Courtesy of @denvertools library.

Never in a zillion years would I use these 2 colors together of my own accord. But look at them!? Def filing away for future use...

What a gift it is to not realize how much work a project is going to be before you start it. 😂 I hope I never ever wisen up!

Some progress pics from a project I'm working on that I call: The TV (aka Textile vision or Tactile Vision)

Anyone know of organizations looking for volunteers to help respond to the #MarshallFire and #MiddleForkFire?

#boulderfire #BoulderColorado

wait. Lab technique ASMR!! Why is this not a huge genre!?!

Its like @JoVEJournal but for some reason wayyy better.

Also my favorite tidbit that got left on the cutting room floor from this one is that apparently there are libraries/catalogs full of meteorite samples that researchers can request samples from. 😱 So cool! I want to know more.

Sometimes science is poetic.

Unaware that the missing ingredient was in their lab-ware.

You love to see it.

Very proud of this story I did w/ @TestKitchen Proof.

It started as a story about cannabis and lobsters. But quickly turned into a plunge into the science/ethics/philosophy of pain/sentience/crustaceans and everything

Fun fact that didn't make the cut for the story is that the air bubbles have different magnetic properties than the surrounding water! 🤯 So they can also be used for magnetic applications (MRI for example)

IMO it is hard to overstate how big of a disconnect there is between the general public's understanding and what is coming down the pike in bioengineering.

A great example in my latest for @sciam. Beautiful work from @mikhailshapiro+@bar_zion @Caltech

Also, check out these very cool videos from the supplementary materials 😍

My latest for @sciam! Some excellent fluid mechanics work from @mitvaranasi group

In this article: me furiously trying to figure out the difference between a meteor, an asteroid, a meteorite and a comet.

Luckily, @SwRI's David Nesvorny was very patient and tried to explain things in molecular biology terms when I got confused.

“We’re dealing with a massive space that’s about to generate a lot of profit,” Speaks says, “and so the question is, what are they going to do with that profit?”

Nice work on @MeowWolf and the local community from @Meredith_Sell for @5280Magazine

This looks rad! They repurposed an old HiSeq as a microfluidics and imaging platform. #hackThePlanet

Yo dawg we heard you like bacterial art so we made you some bacterial art out of bacterial art! 🦠🎨

First attempt at recreating my profile picture by @koreanboybot out of bacteria. I think i'm going to get bigger plates and try for a better version soon!

Made by @robin7331 if I'm not mistaken. (i like that leet backwards is teel. never thought about it 🤣)

😱😍 This looks so cool and fun and useful!
