Happy birthday to Antonie van Leeuwenhoek (1632 – 1723), the Dutch scientist & progenitor of #microbiology known for his improvements to microscope tech. He was a draper in Delft, then a politician with an interest in lensmaking. Using his handmade #microscopes, he was 1st to observe microorganisms, which he called tiny animals, or "animalcules". He also made pioneering microscopic observations on muscle fibres, bacteria, coffee & … 🧵1/n

My linocut portrait of van Leeuwenhoek in burgundy wearing a wig, narrow moustache, loose robe and neck scarf, holding his invention, a microscope. He’s surrounded by his microscopic observations, “animacules”, blood vessels and more, in gold, orange, green and yellow.


Let me have a correct #introduction .
Hi! I’m Djigr, evolutionary #biologist, #paleontologist , #artist and published #paleoartist ! I work on various subjects such as #temnospondyls (#crocofrogs from the past) and 3D molecular structure prediction by AI.
I do #scicom and #sciart on feathered #dinosaurs and #evolution, am known for my fake TV journal #CROW+ that teaches about #crow biology!
I’m a co-founder of Chicken Wings Dinosaurs, which produces cute and cool paleoart :sparkles_fiery:

An extraordinary pharmaceutical #chemist to celebrate for #BlackHistoryMonth - Alice Ball (1892-1916) who developed 1st effective treatment for #leprosy. Her research saved 1000s from exile & painful, ineffective lifelong treatment for leprosy, & she was a trailblazer for both women & Black scientists.⁠

Ball studied #chemistry at UW earning a BSc & 2nd degree in pharmacy 2 years later.

I want to thank everyone who posts to #Mosstodon - such an awesome hashtag (and dangerous time suck)! 🥰 Here's my moss-related art: moss sporophytes I spotted while hiking in Denali National Park, Alaska. SO C👀L!

I'm still finding my feet here, so it feels right to share with you the first #JournalCover I ever got with my #sciart

I was a #postdoc at the time and I had 1 evening to produce something around the idea that virulence in #bacteria is often 'all about the #phage ... '

A lucky break for me!
#MastoArt #Introduction
A blue rod shaped bacterium with 3 flagella in a soup of red and green phage, some with short tails, some with long tails. The image is done with aquarelle - a  kind of nicely textured watercolour monoprint
