This artwork illustrates how two processes cooperate to create stem cells - represented by the dancer's choreography on her way to pluripotency. Stem cells have been crucial for many discoveries in…
Presenting my new artwork for the 11th international meeting on Visualizing Biological Data at the USC Bridge Institute - a VIZBI 2020 'Hollywood' sign illuminated by dividing cells! I'm very…
You may not see it, but an evolutionary battle is being waged all around us between bacteria and the viruses that target them. This drawing depicts an exciting new discovery…
My drawing is in a TEDx talk! The topic is inheritance of memories in C. elegans, which I illustrated as a worm family tree made of neurons. Check it out…
Check out the new UC San Diego Health N=1 Podcast episode where I talk about my research, science art and my AAAS IF/THEN outreach for women in STEM. I hope you…
A new paper in Nature Genetics challenges the current model of how the genome’s 3D organisation controls gene expression. Using Drosophila fruit flies that carry rearranged chromosomes, researchers found that…
When our cells respond to stimuli or differentiate, they change their gene expression dramatically and modify RNA transcription to regulate their genes. One way to monitor gene regulation is to…
This drawing illustrates how changes in the nervous system of C. elegans worms can affect behavior in future generations through small RNAs that regulate expression of certain genes. Though these so…
Presenting my new EMBO Reports cover - stabilizing mRNA strands for memory formation! Learning and forming memories are fundamental processes essential for survival, requiring precise regulation of memory-related genes. This…
