I've been out of the lab too long, now I'm drawing lab equipment #SciArt

@_Josh_Currie I have a lot of phage images, how many do you need! All the phages on earth weigh the same as 100,000 blue whales and they account for 20-50% of all deaths of bacteria. Some archaeal viruses (similar to phages) can continue to expand outside their hosts.
Not all phages kill their hosts, some inject DNA and piggyback bacteria as they grow and divide. phage can help their bacterial hosts: making them stronger or deadly, we check our phage's DNA to ensure they don't make bacteria into superbugs. #Phage #SciArt #GlobalScienceShow
I'll take a quick break from the science to bring you a bacteria-guinea pig cross. The science will resume shortly #GlobalScienceShow #guineapig #SciArt
Great talk on desert microbes and their phages by Thulani Makhalanyane for #UnityInDiversity yesterday. Getting used to sketching while listening to talks so I don't get distracted (any mention of phages stops that!). https://t.co/Pi9178pZXs
Day 13, Dune #Inktober. It’s 2020 and the prompt word was Dune, so just some massive phage-worm thing. Also, in arid soils there is a much higher ratio of phages to bacterial genomes, is it due to a better survival of phages or just their genomes in these environments? #SciArt
Day 2, Wisp. The bacteriophages or phage I work with often seem like ethereal wisps, is it a bubble, dirt or phage plaque on my agar plate? So difficult to observe directly we just look for areas where bacteria have been killed. #inktober2020 #sciart #Sciartober
