I have recently decided I want to get back into drawing (after a 10 year hiatus) and made this last weekend! Really enjoyed drawing on an iPad for the first time!

man we really hope we get a table @dinoconuk.bsky.social again this year, esp with all the recent (in our eyes) positive publicity!

the con was such a joy last year, even for two introverts surrounded all weekend by people

doodle on a green background with the text in the middle saying 11th Feb '26 International Day of Women & Girls in Science, the women and girl doodles are:
head with an orange cornsnake and cat glasses with pink hair
head in a blue cloudy headscarf looking at some triangles
head with wavy brown greying hair looking at stars
a white and black kid excitedly looking at some antibodies with a red liquid flask behind them

a silly #SciArt redraw of the squish that cat meme, but it is a grey stickfigure squishing a mosquito (that looks like a little cat) with the text SQUISH THAT BUG!

You want to collect insects (and maybe other arthropods) for reference genome sequencing, but don't want to spend a fortune on dry ice shipping!

All you gotta do is SQUISH. THAT. BUG!

I think this is another sign of the huge disconnect between scientists and the public. If you are willing to use known plagiarism machines to write a paper, THEN NOT EVEN DISCLOSE IT, how is the public supposed to trust you haven't plagiarised or straight up "made up" your data and results?

a medieval drawing of a dog standing upright wearing a hood and holding a bottle. beside him is a cat laying in bed wearing what looks like a nightcap. both have distraught expressions on their faces.
