This #SciArt is inspired by the UV patterns in flowers that pollinators can see but which are completely invisible to us. It reminded me of what it's like as queer people to be 'out' to different people in different ways and to different extents, depending on the relationships and community we share

I also just really love colour-change stuff. This pin works by using the ultraviolet light in sunshine to temporarily break a carbon bond in the pigment, causing it to 'twist' and reflect a new colour. The bond reforms when no longer exposed to UV.
