•Helicase: untangles the double helix structure of DNA
•Topoisomerase: relieves tension created by unwinding of DNA strands
•Ligase: joins broken ends of DNA strands together
•Restriction enzyme: cuts DNA at
Vortexes are simple devices commonly used in labs to mix small vials of liquid. But have you ever tried vortexing your finger? This watercolor is a tribute to the vortex - a simple but indispensable lab device
Lotería is a traditional Mexican game of chance, using images on a deck of cards instead of numbers. I decided to create my own version of lotería cards with science-related images, such as gloves, centrifuge, pipette, and even a reviewer. I wanted to combine my passion for
This watercolor painting is a tribute to the timer that I used during my PhD. It was a simple device, but it was indispensable for my research. I used it to measure time intervals for various laboratory applications, such as bacterial transformation using heat shock. I wanted to
The micropipette is one of the most essential tools in modern biology, chemistry and medicine. It allows researchers to handle small volumes of liquid with precision and accuracy. But do you know how it was invented?
It has been 10 years since I started doing Western blots in the lab. Wow, what a rollercoaster!
Based on my successes and failures, here are some tips for perfect Western blots. A thread (1/5)…
Cooking and working in a lab are similar in some ways, but different in others. Both require following recipes or protocols, testing results, and cleaning materials. But cooking is more creative, less risky, and more personal than working in a lab. What do you think?
Are you a cell culture enthusiast? Then you probably know the distinctive Gibco media bottles that hold colorful cell culture media. These bottles are designed to be ergonomic, easy to use, and contamination-resistant. I was inspired by their shapes and shades to create this
Have you ever spent hours in the lab doing a western blot, only to end up with a black spot on your membrane that looks like a Rorschach test? If you have, you're not alone. Western blotting is one of the most common and frustrating techniques in molecular biology. It's supposed
Sometimes, the packaging of a company’s products is what makes them stand out. It’s amazing how a simple design can make a product so recognizable and iconic. The chemical, life science, and biotechnology company Sigma-Aldrich sells many of their products in iconic white bottles
Crafted with a semi-transparent, flexible film that’s ductile and malleable, this artwork embodies the non-toxic, odorless, and self-sealing nature of Parafilm, stretching the boundaries of creativity
What do you get when you combine glass, polypropylene, and watercolor? A tribute to the unsung heroes of research: glass laboratory bottles and their blue caps. These versatile containers can hold anything from reagents and chemicals to solutions and tissue culture media. They
Do you know that some years ago,
@neto_flames
created the Journal of Sketching Science? We have written and illustrated 17

papers together with amazing artists, scientists, and science communicators. Take a look at:
Andy Warhol challenged the traditional notions of art and originality by using everyday objects as his subjects. He painted things like Coca-Cola bottles, Brillo boxes, and Campbell’s soup cans. Why not using Parafilm as an inspiration?
