College student invents gel that halts bleeding

Veti-Gel is a synthetic version of ECM, which binds cells together and initiates the clotting process.

that is so wonderful!

check you out med students 🙂

MEDIGEL

FUCK

I love you, science.

“Veti-Gel (also sometimes called Medi-Gel) is a synthetic form of the extracellular matrix”

aaaahahahahaha

So, we have potential FTL travel, form-fitting spacesuit designs that allow for armor to be added, discovered potentially life-bearing exoplanets and moons, mind-melding experiments, and now medi-gel.

All right, so when do we meet turians?

I’M ON MY WAY GARRUS

I present, a microbiologist magical girl! Or a microbe magical girl, whichever you prefer i guess, with guest stars from Moyashimon Microbes!

This was a commission from a really cool MCB grad student, and i was more than happy to work on it because it combines so many many many of my favorite things 😀 I was basically given more or less free reign with some input on the science side of things, so cookies to people who see all the little references in the picture to microbiology and lab work :3 I may do a rework of this with generic microbes and not moyashimon ones to bring to otakon and awa as a print, but we’ll see in a week or two. 

I wanted to post this earlier but a giant headache basically pooped on the last 8 hours of my life v_v

Her staff is an inoculation loop. Too cute!

Sculpting Science

  • by  Alexa Lim, Associate Producer

“Who were our first ancestors? What does it mean to be human? These are questions artist John Gurche and paleoanthropologist Rick Potts have been working to answer. They describe their collaborations on the Smithsonian’s Hall of Human Origins exhibit and discuss how art and science inform one another.”

Click through for audio: Paleo-artist John Gurche and paleoanthropologist Rick Potts discuss the intersection between art and science. 

***Very interesting interview.

Top 5 misconceptions about evolution: A guide to demystify the foundation of modern biology.

Version 1.0

Here is an infographic to help inform citizens.  From my experience most people who misunderstand evolution are actually misinformed about what science is and how it operates.  That said, here are five of the biggest barriers faced when one explains evolution – I have faced these and they are documented in the literature.

I hope you can build on my work and improve the communication between the scientists and the public.

Want to do more?  If you want to donate to the cause of science education I suggest the National Center for Science Education http://ncse.com, your local university, or an equivalent organization.  Volunteering at schools and inviting scientists into classrooms are two ways to encourage an informed society.  Attend hearings if school boards start questioning evolution’s role in public curriculum.  Raise a storm if anyone tries to ban science.  Plus, it never hurts to reblog a well made evolution post.

Thank you followers for all your support!
