Lotería is a traditional Mexican game of chance, using images on a deck of cards instead of numbers. I decided to create my own version of lotería cards with science-related images, such as gloves, centrifuge, pipette, and even a reviewer. I wanted to combine my passion for science and art in a fun and creative way. I hope you enjoy my science lotería as much as I enjoyed making it. Let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions for more cards.

Deep sea research is whole different game than the #OceanGateSub debacle. In my time on a #WHOI #DSVAlvin cruise I learned that every system on the sub was checked before each dive, rebuilt every 6 years, and the titanium sphere could be released as a last resort. #SafetyFirst

Replying to @WhySharksMatter
Is it too much to ask for an ecologically plausible animal cracker community? Wolf, pronghorn, otter, moose instead of elephant, lion, camel, goat? Or commit to the Pleistocene? #ecology #animalcrackers #mammals
Seriously, this decision feels like Audubon wants to be an organization for old white people. My students don't even know the name. Beyond disappointing. audubon.org/news/open-letter…
