@ASMicrobiology Once you've agreed terms, it's really helpful to organise the things that need organising before the artist can be paid, while they do the work. Like registering them as a supplier or raising a PO number. Otherwise they have to wait much longer to be paid.

@ASMicrobiology Terms contain useful info, like how many revisions is reasonable to expect for that price and a kill fee clause to protect the artist and their ideas.
@ASMicrobiology Plus all the stuff you can't predict! Sometimes the commissioning process itself leads to new ideas or questions. Sometimes your commission will inspire that talented postdoc to email you, sparking a lifelong fruitful collaboration!

@ASMicrobiology Perhaps for a #scientist it's easier to think of #sciart as a reagent. An antibody might cost $500 a pop, but the answers it gets you are priceless! (Or at least another grant). Art is like that too. Why know about something if you can't share that knowledge?

@artologica @KristinHenry @trilobiteglass @vexedmuddler It's been a long old day and I haven't even gotten through my shopping #MicrobeArtWalk wishlist yet! Maybe I'll have to share some more with you tomorrow...
#printmaking #microbiology is also a great way to represent the basically invisible soup we work with day to day.
It may look indistinguishable from freshly autoclaved buffer, but that clear liquid is positively teeming! #MicrobeArtWalk
@BriegelAriane What could possibly go wrong? 😂

@RachelLippert @AcademicChatter hello! I'm a microbiologist and illustrator... https://t.co/epzQeIbREf
