When I First Got Started With Directing My Own Experiments, I Had That “I Don’t Want To Be Seen With

Quick introduction

I share lab notes and doodles relating to medical biochemistry. Hopefully you can learn something new while passing through my page!

⭐ Please don’t use my posts for medical advice. I'm a scientist, not a physician (If I happen to get something wrong or forget a fact, let me know and I'll have it fixed right away)

⭐ I don't tolerate exclusionists, gatekeepers, performative ethicists, or charlatans

⭐ My drawings aren't meant to be taken seriously, I'm doing this for fun

⭐ I have a moodboard page, and it's @peroxide-foam if you're interested in some crispy cleancore and labcore

First post! Feels kinda empty in here so I’m sharing the most recent photo I’ve taken. Have a flask of isopropyl alcohol chilling in a bath.

Got some microorganisms that are soon to be examined 🐚🐟🔬

This is the most simplified I could make it... Here’s a histology “slide” of a human adrenal gland for y’all who “don’t do cells.” (Placement may be a bit inaccurate, cause I stole this from a borrowed notebook.)

Fun fact: I once had someone try to argue with me that the adrenal gland is a “kidney warmer” that does not actually produce hormones, because “it doesn’t look like a real organ.”

An update - 2 June 2022

Where have I been? Why have I not posted in MONTHS? Despite feeling like it, I didn’t die!

Learning about library management so I can take better care of my own book collections and potentially get hired for it

Trying my absolute best to understand bioinformatics (It’s not going well, I feel like I’m too mentally worn down for this level of computer stuff.)

Writing out pages in the rough draft and background research phases for some of the open textbooks I want to publish

Sharpening my HTML/CSS skills to make a good website

Coming to terms with the fact I have kidney issues but being ignored by my doctor despite them being the one that tested me

Hoping to start learning Russian again when I have enough free time between studies and preparing experiments

Taking a break from data science for a bit (My understanding never got past pre-calc, technical math expects way too much from me)

...And last but not least, practicing my non-science related essays, because maybe I’d like to try my hand at cultural analysis (for fun)

Anyways, thanks for stopping by, I’ll keep posting art, but that's how my life is going at the moment. I wasn’t expecting to pass 500 followers, but here you guys are! Thank you!

Thyroid function panel (data stolen from my diagnostics ref) with the added bonus of some structures I’ll probably regret not being able to recognize without a guide

Kinda hard to neglect my work when one part of me is guilty and the other is terrified.

I tried to make two oddly specific warning signs.

I MADE AN ASCORBIC ACID! LOOK AT IT!!!

The shape of this is so awkward to hold when you’re trying to show the whole thing.
