Beata Science Art

Very excited to join this community! I'm a molecular biologist at UC San Diego who is passionate about science art, fashion, and outreach. I'm also an IF/THEN Ambassador and created the science video game #Microscopya. Looking forward to connecting with you all! #SciArt #ScienceFashion #SciComm

I'm very excited to join @sunassemblysd.bsky.social this weekend to talk about turning science into art, fashion, and video games. If you're local, I'd love to see you there! Free registration at www.meetup.com/sunday-assem...

This year's Comic-Con was unbelievable! I was incredibly honored to be on a panel with @wetaworkshop.bsky.social and some amazing IF/THEN scientists, exploring the overlap between science and creative work in film. I also had so much fun creating a 🐉🥚 cosplay for the newest member of our family!

I couldn't be more honored to speak at the #GNSI Visual #SciComm conference this weekend, where I’ll be sharing how I use visual metaphor to communicate complex science in intuitive ways. I can't wait to meet the @gnsiart.bsky.social community and learn new perspectives! #SciArt

I'm so excited to speak at the next Science Art Summit, alongside some incredible science artists! Please join us on July 9th at 7 am PT / 10 am ET / 4 pm CET. Hope to see many of you there, and thank you @philippdexheimer.bsky.social for organizing these! #SciArt #SciComm

I can't believe it's been 6 months since I last posted! I've been busy with an experiment that takes cell division to a whole new level. I’m so excited to raise a curious, resilient, and mighty woman in (maybe 😄) STEM! Thrilled to reconnect and share new (and old) updates soon! #BabyInSTEM 🐣

We couldn't be more excited for @mag2art.bsky.social's talk in our session at #CellBio2025, and I can assure everyone that he is absolutely qualified. Looking forward to it 🤩

Come find out how to make your science more accessible. Hear and touch mitosis during my talk. @ascbiology.bsky.social #cellbio2025 #mitosis #midbody #tactilelearning

If you're passionate about #SciArt and #SciComm, don't miss our exciting session today at #ASCB #CellBio2025! Thank you @ascbiology.bsky.social!

As a thank you to all of the amazing people who have supported me over the years, I’m offering 25% off #SciArt and #ScienceFashion on #Etsy until Dec 7 (www.etsy.com/shop/beatasc...). Hoping to have more time to focus on my art soon, so message me with cool ideas for designs or collaborations!

Our #SciComm booth at LA Comic-Con was all about the science behind #Pokémon! It was a joy to see people of all ages engaging with our activities and creating DNA jewelry. Thank you @afroherper.bsky.social, @cosplayforscience.bsky.social, IF/THEN and the Ecologik Institute for this collaboration ❤️

What a pleasure to join the #AAAS #SSTEM2025 Meeting, which brought together over 1000 talented students across all STEM fields. We also got to preview our next #Microscopya game chapter (on the TV screen 📺) and are excited to share more news about that soon! Thank you @aaascsew.bsky.social!

I'm so honored to have my art featured on the cover of IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications - my very first science drawing that marked the beginning of my #SciArt journey! Read the cover story here: ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/111... A huge thank you to the journal and @gary-singh.bsky.social!

Comic-Con was absolutely magical! From discussing the science behind Wicked, to interacting with kids at the STEAM Fair and mingling with pop culture fans at the STEM Mixer - every encounter was inspiring. So grateful I got to spark excitement about #STEM alongside our amazing IF/THEN Ambassadors!

In anticipation of this year's #ComicCon2025, here are some pictures from last year's amazing events!

I'm so excited to present at #ComicCon2025 this week! Join my panel to learn about the intersection between #STEM and the magic of Oz in 'Defying Gravity: Exploring the STEM and Ethics of Magic in Wicked', and meet many amazing #WomenInSTEM Ambassadors! #SDCC25 #SciComm #STEAMeducation #STEAMSquad

First day at the VIZBI conference and very excited for some fascinating talks and discussions on visualizing biological data at the beautiful @magdalenecollege.bsky.social in Cambridge! #VIZBI #VIZBI25 #DataViz #SciArt

What a pleasure to participate in the #SuperSTEMSaturday at CSUSM - the largest and most unique STEM fair I have ever experienced! Kids got to experience the beauty of science with a real microscope, science jewelry, and #Microscopya. Huge thanks to Robyn Araiza and our amazing volunteers!

My #SciArt exhibition 'The Double Life of Science and Art' is being featured at the New Village Arts Theater alongside their powerful new play 'The Half-Life of Marie Curie' about #WomenInSTEM! The play runs until February 23 - more info here: newvillagearts.org/half-life-ma...

😮🤩 Wow, a completely filled room at our #CellBio2024 #SciArt session! What an amazing evening with inspiring talks about creativity, education and microscopy. Huge thanks to our speakers and audience. Please reach out if you're interested in co-organizing or speaking next year!

What an honor to have #Microscopya featured in The Scientist Magazine! I'm so grateful about the opportunity to help get creative students excited about #STEM and cell biology! Check it out to learn more about the background behind this project: www.the-scientist.com/playing-game...

It was such a pleasure to host you both at our #CellBio2024 #SciArt Show & Reception! Thank you for making this event so special, and for bringing your creativity and enthusiasm to our community 😍

Don't forget to join our #CellBio2024 #SciArt Special Interest Subgroup today at 5 pm in Room 33B. I'm looking forward to a session full of creativity and unique approaches to science visualization!

I'm very excited to share my research at #ASCB #CellBio2024! Catch my talk tomorrow morning or my poster on Monday, and learn how a screen for mitotic genes revealed a fascinating interplay between the mitotic stopwatch and basal p53 activation that controls cell proliferation!

It's been an incredible honor to serve on the ASCB Council, and it's always a pleasure to reconnect for #CellBio2024. Thank you ASCB!

We have an exciting lineup for our #CellBio2024 #SciArt subgroup on Tuesday! Enjoy fascinating talks by @doroteaartscience.bsky.social, @hudrewthis.bsky.social, @snowotarski.bsky.social, Jessica Heebner, Hermina Nedelescu, Leah Krevitt, Igor Siwanowicz, and Yan Yu. Hope to see many of you there!
