So excited about this project! My institute is teaming up with the only museum dedicated to the craft of beadwork to create a truly remarkable—AND GLITTERY— science-art & education experience in 2026. See how you can participate in one of the planned exhibits in this thread below
The Microbe Institute is teaming up with the Museum of Beadwork to bring you an extra special challenge this year! Microbes & Mushrooms: Nature's Artistry in Detail.
We challenge you to create a beaded artwork piece that introduces audiences to the microbial realm. #sciart
The misunderstanding of microbes is a fundamental challenge in environmental education and a source of needless fear. The Museum of Beadwork and the Microbe Institute want to change that. So let’s do something really big by getting really small. Join us! PLUS.... #scicomm
This competition offers artists the chance to have their artwork in a museum! This is the perfect project to share with your #sciart friends, your #beaders, the artists you know, or know of. We can't wait to see what you can create! museumofbeadwork.org/pages/m…
Gave a webinar on careers in science communication today as part of @harvardmed's graduate career navigator series. I managed to bring up whales, unicorns, and gingerbread in an on-topic way, I swear. #scicomm
This tiny original funding helped me train other scientists, publish new findings on our world, discover a new species of fungus to science, & give a TED talk (w/ > 1.6M views. A TED talk at a conference where other speakers that week included Serena Williams, Elon, and the pope.

Bacteria in puddles dance like fish in currents, revealing nature's hidden rhythms. Trust the water's wisdom.
Even the smallest drop can hold secrets.

Tomorrow I will be voting like science and health depends on it. Because it does.
It's been an honor to work w/this team hunting for microbes as sources of natural dyes. Please check out our other efforts at The Microbe Institute to serve as "NASA for the microbial cosmos," by democratizing microbial discovery for a better tomorrow. microbeinstitute.org/
Brooke Jude (@JudeLab_Bard) teamed up with @AnneAMadden of The Microbe Institute and @ATW80Fabrics to harness purple-pigmented microbes for use in sustainable dyeing practices.
