This little orange #newts is a producer of tetrodotoxin, potent neurotoxin to ward off predators!

Metal #microber2022 Not only magicians impress by eating nails! Leptospirillum is an iron oxidizer that one can find in mines. When they get really hungry they might eat a whole nail … in just three days. #sciart #scicomm
#Microber2022 18: METAL.
Ugh... Ever since I got here I've just felt so tired and drained. I've tried practicing self care, upping regulons, eating differently... but I think I'm just gonna have to move on.

Happy #WorldOkapiDay! Here's the first published image of an Okapi (Okapia johnstoni) from 1901 by @OfficialZSL fellow Sir Harry Johnston. Quite good #SciArt considering he hadn't yet seen a live one and only had a skin, skull, and verbal descriptions to work with! @okapiproject
I think this middle baby penguin might be having an identity crisis as it appears to be doing the funky chicken dance

#Microber2022 16: SEEN/UNSEEN.
I see it...
I see it too!
Impossible.
It's true!
Well, I see it more than you.
How can you be sure?
I've got more eyes than you.
Have you?

#Microber22 day 15- bath salts often enhance the experience of being suspended in water. Bacteria also respond to salts present in the environment. Some swell up, grow fast or dart around. Each has a preference for type and concentration of salt in the medium. #sciart #scicomm
Salt #microber2022 Some like is salty, like this red extremophil Salinibacter ruber. Found not so long ago in Spain, they prefer around 20% salt. #sciviz #sciart
#Sciartober Day 11: FLY. Flying fish! #catchingup #inktober2022 #sciart
#Sciartober Day 10: FLOWER. Sea anemones remind me of sunflowers :) I wanna detail it out but I’m so behind on #inktober2022 ! #SciArt
#microber2022 15: SALT.
Most folks can't take it here, but I've grown to love it. Sure it's super salty, but I still think it's pretty sweet.

#Microber2022 14. Community
When I think about community, similarly to @LizahvdAart, I do not only think about microbes.
I am so grateful to all the amazing persons I met via science, from my labmates to all the friends from the scicomm and sciart communities that I met online. https://t.co/dP1qGFW6yV
Some favorites from week 2 of #SciArtInk: Endometriosis, Fibromyalgia, Lupus

#microber2022 #inktober2022 14 Community: understanding microbial communities through sequencing, effort is focused on bacteria and their functions. Viruses (inc phages), fungi, etc are overlooked, but #phage are vitally important in shaping communities and functions #SciArt

The endless possibilities, shapes, colours and sugars dazzled Foosi. Finally a place to call home! Foosi's excitement was quickly tinged with fear - what if I don't fit in?
