Watercolor lichens

The practice run:

Tried out an entertaining (but tedious) technique for Physarum using watercolor +acrylic last night

Here's the reticulated pseudopodial network of Filoreta, the amoeba I did my PhD work on:

Here's last night's watercolor adventure into filopodia

I've been playing around with the idea of making prints + stickers! I made some vinyl stickers that I handed out at a conference last month, which people seemed to like.

One of my hobbies = watercolor doodles. Here are some fun amoeba morphologies!

Vahlkampfia amoebae crawling through 6μm microchannels from @4DCell yesterday in an impromptu imaging session with @KatrinaVelle

Found a slime mold on our hike today, during free time at the 2024 the Plant and Microbial Cytoskeleton GRC!

Happy ##MicroscopyMonday! Here are some fun and funky Naegleria amoebae with interesting pseudopodial shapes. These are fixed and stained with Phalloidin (green) and Dapi (pink).

The tiniest goth

My current method for organizing stacks of amoeba strains into their respective needs. Yes, they are laminated, thanks to @KatrinaVelle
