no exact image match on reverse search 🫢 I don't know the artist or title --
It's cool how some of the same stuff that builds our biological reality, presented in a different way, looks really alien, and to me, bizarre, a little gross. Nerves and cells and veins and milk. I think the color is cool, red like blood stands out. Maybe something about how things are all chopped up and isolated, alienated? idk.

So, funny story while working at my "dream job" at the local library. A patron came in and wanted to check in some late books. I asked how he was, and he tells me that he and his entire family just recovered from norovirus and having the books around was a godsend. "Great!" I responded, then proceeded to sanitize the book jackets with some alcohol (something I always kept on hand). Apparently, the patron complained to the director, which puzzled me. I guess I should have waited until he left. Oh well. Maybe... And, btw, this was right before Covid. I'll bet my actions don't seem so weird after all.

#AntibioticResistance among #germs swells during #droughts, study suggests
Experiments at Caltech found that dry soil—drought conditions—consistently select for and enrich antibiotic resistance in soil bacterial communities. More concerningly, researchers found that pro-resistance conditions in soil link to higher frequencies of #antibioticresistant infections in hospitals around the world. And with human-driven #climatechange, drought conditions are expected to increase.

🚀🦠 When we send rovers to #Mars, we try our best not to bring #Earth #microbes along for the ride.
A new model explains that while Mars’ intense radiation sterilizes the outside of a #spacecraft in just one day, some hardy #germs could hide inside for up to 25 years.

“In the natural world, anything that is colored so brightly must be some kind of serious evolutionary badass”*…
There are an estimated 10 quintillion (10,000,000,000,000,000,000) individual insects alive on earth today; they’ve been around for over 350 million years and ihabit nearly every environment, from deserts to snowy mountains. Their total biomass is massive, estimated to be around 70 times more than all humans combined. Often considered pests, only about 3% of species are harmful to humans; the vast majority are crucial for pollination, decomposition, and as food sources for other animals. (More insect data.)
“Loren” (and here) is a microbiologist fascinated by bugs– and ready to share…
I am incredibly fond of insects. They’re small and usually pretty fast, so it’s rewarding to successfully capture a photo of one. from 2017 to 2023, I was fairly consistent about chasing down bugs and sharing the photos on instagram, but sticking them all in a square grid can only do so much for me (or you). Here, I want to have a little more fun with my photos, and share other bug-related things that I like. There’s a lot! I am not an entomologist, merely a bug fan, so this page in its current state skews more towards the entertaining than the informative, but who knows what it may turn into. Right now there’s an entomology textbook sitting on my coffee table, and plenty of time to read it while the bugs overwinter…

As we creep and crawl, we might spare a thought for a man concerned with “bugs” of a different sort, Joseph Lister (1st Baron Lister, OM, PC, FRS, FRCSE, FRCPGlas, FRCS); he died on this date in 1912. A surgeon, medical scientist, and experimental pathologist, he was a pioneer of antiseptic surgery and preventive healthcare. Just as John Hunter revolutionised the science of surgery, Lister’s revolutionized the craft of surgery.
Lister researched the role of inflammation and tissue perfusion in the healing of wounds, and advanced diagnostic science by analysing specimens using microscopes. But his biggest contributions were a function of his application of Louis Pasteur‘s then-novel germ theory. Lister introduced carbolic acid (modern-day phenol) as a steriliser for surgical instruments, patients’ skins, sutures, surgeons’ hands, and wards, promoting the principle of antiseptics. And he devised strategies to increase the chances of survival after surgery by reducing post-operative infections (e.g., segragating post-op patients from pre-op patients who had germ-riddled wounds).
