Science Fan Art!

I have separated the science inspired fan art because it deserved its own category! The factor differentiating these from my cell comics is that these are works inspired by posts people made on Twitter. Some may have been sharing an excellent video of their work; others may have shared a paper they published! Whatever it was, I saw it and thought it was fantastic. Make sure to check out the links for the origional twiter post, the paper (if there was one), and my blog post if I elaborated on it.
Bacteria Submarines! This science that inspired this is from the Jakobi Lab about resolving the structure of microbial gas vesicles used by aquatic bacteria and archaea to regulate buoyancy. Blog Tweet Paper (Huber, et al. 2022 BioRxiv)
Hulk Fly! The science behind this comic was from a very cool paper on how altering mitochondrial metabolism affects fly growth though insulin signaling Blog Tweet Paper (Sriskanthadevan-Pirahas, et al. 2022, Cell Reports)

Blobs? I didn't know what these were at first. Turns out these are amoebaes with contractile vaculoe defects. Fun work by Katrina Velle. Blog Twitter
Amoebaes nighmare! After Katrina kindly told me what was going on, I drew a normal amoebae encountering a defective amoebae. Blog Twitter
