Happy to share the latest manuscript from our lab, in which we propose that eukaryotes evolved from a genomic chimera of Asgard archaea and giant viruses.
One or two more sessions and I think this painting will be done. Not unhappy. I enjoy working larger, this still isn’t quite large enough…but it is starting to give me what I’m going for.

Love Blossoms - Embodies the spirit of Valentine's Day. The focal point is a majestic tree with branches adorned by a profusion of hearts in multiple vibrant colors, creating a kaleidoscope of love in full bloom.
…WH spox Andrew Bates said Fri it was “unacceptable to repeat the hideous lie behind the most fatal act of #Antisemitism in American history at any time,” referring to a 2018 shooting that killed 11 people at the #TreeOfLife#synagogue in Pittsburgh. The Pittsburgh gunman, who was sentenced to death in Aug, had shared a large amount of antisemitic content on social media leading up to the attack.
Houseplant Hospital is one of my favourite ways to spend a morning. Take all 30 or so #houseplants, gather them outside in one place. Assess, repot, spray, have a conversation, change where they live in the house. Needed an emergency clinic today as some have doubled in size since moving to our new place 4 months ago. Houseplant care is excellent #selfcare. 💚
They were murdered because they were Jewish and also because a white nationalist radicalized in the right-wing fever swamps believed a Jewish refugee organization was perpetrating the Great Replacement, which is a mainstream belief in today's GOP. Let's not forget that part.
Five years ago today, 11 Jewish people were murdered at #TreeOfLife Synagogue in Pittsburgh in the worst such attack in U.S. history: Joyce Fienberg, Richard Gottfried, Rose Mallinger, Jerry Rabinowitz, Cecil & David Rosenthal, Bernice & Sylvan Simon, Daniel Stein, Melvin Wax, and Irving Younger.
We must redouble our efforts to combat antisemitism so that we can be a country where people of all faiths, races, and backgrounds feel safe.
I drew this today. A possible T-shirt one day, or a print, maybe a sticker or part of a new stationery line… dunno. For now it’s just this. And I love it. Click for the full circle. 🐦⬛💚
Life has had me very busy lately! Finally catching up on all of the gardening and weeding the heat wave kept us from. It's still hot...92 today, but it beats 99!
I love working with sacred symbolism. The Tree Of Life is important in many mythological, religious and philosophical traditions. This one has mandalas arranged in a Chakra configuration.
