Artwork title:

The Reef Remembers

Description:

Please view the entire project here: https://www.behance.net/gallery/246078291/Coral-Sculpture The Reef Remembers is a biodegradable coral sculpture made from bioplastic that explores the fragile relationship between marine life, sustainable materials, and ecological memory. Inspired by the organic forms of coral reefs, the work reflects both the beauty and vulnerability of ocean ecosystems threatened by pollution, climate change, and human consumption. Through videos projected onto the sculpture using augmented reality, the piece highlights the potential role of synthetic biology in protecting fragile reef ecosystems in Australia and around the world.

Plants for Space

Ever wonder what a nutrition-packed green juice looks like on a microscopic level?

Smart processing releases plant ingredients (green) from the cell wall (cyan) while preserving the nutritional properties. Understanding how food structure links to sensory perception and functionality helps P4S scientists to create palatable food for deep space travel and Earth's sustainability. Image was captured using a confocal microscope at the Biological Optical Microscopy Platform at the Bio21 Institute.

Gravitational Wave Discovery

aLIGO – al dente Laser Interferometric Gravitational-wave Observatory

The gravitational waves that we detect on Earth are created by the most energetic collisions in the Universe; black hole mergers. These black holes stretch and squeeze the fabric of time and space as they perform a death dance, increasing in speed and violence up until the moment of collision. Millions of light years away on Earth the gravitational waves are so small that the motion caused by them is orders of magnitude smaller then the width of an atom. Detecting gravitational waves needs the most sensitive instruments ever made by humanity, in an international collaborative effort. The detector is represented here in this work with spaghetti, a spaghetti detector on a spaghetti Earth trying to detect ripples of spaghetti space from coalescing of spaghetti black holes.

E. coli meets the corporate ladder

E. coli meets the corporate ladder

‘You have been promoted; you are now one of my elite employees’ is a meme originating from MainlyMannie about corporate scenarios where you get a measly raise or prize rather than a proper raise or actual benefits. In this meme, I’ve applied it to an E. coli bacterium, in which, after the cell takes up the plasmid (a small, circular piece of DNA that scientists use to add new genetic information to cells) we created, it is now an ‘elite employee’. As synthetic biologists, we are always making cells do all of our work for us. In a way, we can be their demanding boss, while the cells are our overworked employees, busy making toxins, medicines, proteins and all kinds of useful products we ask them to produce. In this meme, I use an example from my research project in which I make E. coli turn blue by providing it with a plasmid I engineered. This artwork was created in Procreate on my iPad, with text, borders, and arrows added post-drawing in Canva. No AI was used for this artwor

Innovations in Peptide and Protein Science

Peptide

Sung to the tune of Vance Joy's Riptide this parody by Dr Andy Walker and the King lab at CIPPS communicates the exciting work of discovering new medicines and eco-friendly pesticides from Australia’s amazing venomous flora and fauna.

Purple, Red, We Listen and We Don't Judge

Original photograph of two Nicotiana benthamiana plants I grew and photographed myself, edited only in PowerPoint (text boxes, callouts, emoji - no AI used). The purple leaf is wild-type, where transcription factor MYB activates the anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway (ABP), producing the characteristic purple hue. The red leaf is an F3'5'H mutant (CRISPR/Cas9 knockout), where silencing F3'5'H stops purple pigment production and redirects flux within the same pathway toward red anthocyanins instead. Same pathway, same plant - it's simply whether F3'5'H is on or off that decides purple versus red. That switch mirrors my actual mood depending on audience: "off" during supervisor meetings, where I feel bruised and withdrawn about slow progress, and "on" at conference networking, where the same project suddenly becomes fascinating and I'm on fire talking about it. The meme pairs real anthocyanin genetics with a relatable PhD moment, using colour switching to tell an emotional story.
