Two posters - 1) title: "The unbearable slowness of being: Why do we live at 10 bits per second?". Illustration: a stopwatch with hand in the shape of a walking person 2) title: "People, ants, & pianos". Illustration: Grand piano being carried by many ants, while also being pushed (perhaps the other way) by two sets of human hands.

recent posters -

Cover of Cell Stem Cell journal depicts a winter landscape with a frozen tree (looking very much like a neuron, sprouting a green branch with pink buds)

A cover of Neuron journal depicts a female gymnast, surrounded by neurons, swinging from an axon...

This is a first for me - two covers came out the same day!

I made this drawing in 2016...
Unfortunately, it still works today.

three whimsical illustrations of what the artist imagines goes on between the cells at the synapse

a photo of very orange, very fuzzy caterpillar called the banded woolly bear, woolly bear, or woolly worm. It will become Isabella tiger moth eventually. (according to Wikipedia... I know nothing about this stuff)

looking through old phone photos found this fine creature -

Thanks!

A a cochlea-like snail (looking worried) is about to enter a brain-like labyrinth. The paper the drawing was made for is titled - "Multisensory coding of angular head velocity in the retrosplenial cortex"
