oh hi 👋

here's what you can essentially expect from my feed:

@mmups I didn't know you were also in the wine business!

Happy microbial monday! This is salmonella typhimurium and while you likely have a negative visceral reaction to hearing salmonella due to species that cause foodborne illness, this one is a big player in synbio.

S. Typhimurium is being explored for cancer therapy.
 
It can target and colonize tumors and actually enter the cancer cells. Once there, it has the ability to sense when it is inside and expresses only specific genes. Scientists use that to their advantage and can engineer it to selectively deliver a therapeutic payload or call forth the immune system. This makes S. typhimurium a great vector to deliver treatment that's much more targeted than something like chemo or radiation!

now I remember why I normally have two projects going at the same time...

one I can multitask with and one that needs my full attention


should not have picked a pattern that needs my full attention right now 🤣

Ok.. felting wool is addicting. Look how much it shrinks!

Very fun to make but TERRIFYING to throw something knit into the wash on purpose

I was thinking of making a blanket for a friend of mine who is sick. What other things would you want to comfort you through a hard time?

Slowly but surely making progress on this knit.. only two more weeks left to make it 😅

Y'all had to know this was coming 😂 

(long ago the four nations lived together in harmony)

Are there any crafting hobbies you have been wanting to learn? If so what are they?


I feel like I'm always itching to try new things just to know how they're done...

I love when two characters who see past each other start to recognize the possibility of a friendship

Some might say that waiting this long to post the BTG results was due to CTG exhaustion and poor time management. I say it was intentional suspense-building. Between running BTG, trying to survive CTG, and my full-time responsibilities of being small and opinionated, I am not just stretched long but thin. But because I am a generous and benevolent host, I have powered through my nap deficit to deliver these results. You’re welcome.

Challenge 3 will drop soon. Stay alert. Stay out of trouble (unlike me).

I dedicate this win to my two canine children who helped me immensely with this challenge ... And agree 🧀

Pattern shaping up nicely ☺️☺️

super lucky that my need for yarn coincided with the bay area yarn crawl in /sf  got to explore so many beautiful stores and get this pretty yarn

Progress

only had to undo it twice because of silly mistakes 😭 -  this is what happens when you're in a rush

One of my favorite @codon homemade items is this embroidered La Croix on a crewneck

wish me luck because I have to finish this baby blanket by the first week of April 😅

Do I love pie because my birthday is so close to pi day? 

Happy pi day from me and the massive apple pie in my kitchen I've hardly made a dent in 🫓
