Happily attended #LatinxInBME Symposium. Has been amazing seeing this @latinxinbme.bsky.social community grow under leadership of @brianaguado.bsky.social & @anamaporras.bsky.social. This 1-day event occurs before annual BMES meeting & is inclusive welcoming all such this biochemist 😀. #LatinskySTEM

Photo of 1000 piece puzzle depicting an illustration of the side profile of lion lying in tall grass. The artist's painting style has many geometric shapes filling in the yellow and orange grass blades. The lion's fur coloring is interpreted as jagged patches that range in color from grey-brown to tan in the animal's face while the mane is colored dark orange to red to dark green. The background is a blue & purple tinted savannah evening sky where the artist has triangle, square, and circles in the top left corner in various colors such as green red that match the colored tips of the foreground grass that is reaching to the sky above the lion's head.
