I like to think we had a wonderful time doing this shoot.
My favorite part is her reaction to the pictures. Worth it every time.
And There’s More…
This image (Click on it to See the Full Image) is my own personal amino acid hydrophobicity scale indicating the side chains as well as electron donors and acceptors. I made this for a class, but I still refer to it for very similar amino acids. Unfortunately, the compilation of my scientific endeavors in other posts is incomplete, but… Read more →
Graphene Film Grids for CryoElectron Microscopy
This is a TEM diffraction pattern of graphene on nucleopore film (homemade). My work with graphene involves depositing carbon onto a copper substrate, and then etching the copper off after adhering the graphene film to an etch-resistant grid. Beautiful, symmetric images like this are why I chose materials science in the first place. The hope is that these grids with… Read more →
Analysis of Cricket Sperm Axonemes for Fixation Characterization
This particular image is a cricket sperm axoneme- fixed with glutaraldehyde, stained with osmium, and embedded in resin. This project was an optimization of the fixation process and the characterization of tannic acid as a fixative. Ultimately, the goal was to obtain high resolution images of microtubule filament sections to count the number of protofilaments for different insect species. This… Read more →
Downing Lab Website

The Kraken
For Jimmy (who likes dinosaurs, kittens, foxes, wolves, narwahls and emus in that order but was willing to tolerate my obsession with octopi.) My favorite part is that the design is continuous when wrapped around a beer bottle. Read more →

Soapstone Owls
Do you know where the adverb “raspy” came from? Some wonderful person realized that a rasp ( /rasp/ n. a coarse file or similar metal tool with a roughened surface for scraping, filing, or rubbing down objects of metal, wood, or other hard material) unfortunately resembles how sore throat feels… Thank goodness for high grit sandpaper. It really smoothed out these little… Read more →
