August 20th was his birthday. So here is a #LuxPortrait of HPL, painted with bioluminescent bacteria by my wife Jennifer Quinn. Each glowing bacterium does not understand it is part of an enormous and unthinkable design. How Lovecraftian is that?! 2/2

Just a reminder of the truly great #LuxArt created by yours truly, Jennifer Quinn, and Photobacterium (I just grow the organism; Jenny is the Petri dish artist). This #LuxPortrait is of the great Carl Woese, a name every biologist should know. @univpugetsound @asmicrobiology @microbetv.bsky.social

#LuxPortrait collaboration between yours truly and @jennifer.j.quinn . Here is Jane Hinton. Read about her fabulosity here: www.blackpast.org/african-amer... Yes, she helped invent Mueller-Hinton media. #MicrobialHeroes @ASMicrobiology @univpugetsound @microbetv.bsky.social

For #BlackHistoryMonth: the story of William Augustus Hinton. Such challenges, accomplishments, and life. Please take a moment to celebrate Dr. Hinton's legacy. #LuxPortrait by Jennifer Quinn. This image ended up in a microbiology text!

From the time I was a little boy, Dr. King’s message meant a lot to me. On MLK Day, I honor his memory. Deeply awesome #LuxPortrait by Dr. Jennifer Quinn. @univpugetsound @ASMicrobiology @microbe.tv

My wife Dr. Jennifer Quinn is more than a mathematician and math museum director. She is an artist! Here is her #LuxPortrait of Einstein, painted with luminous bacteria on a Petri dish. Such talent! #DontFearTheMicrobe #LuxArt @univpugetsound @microbe.tv @ASMicrobiology

That time Dr. Jennifer Quinn painted the eternally quirky Jeff Goldblum’s #LuxPortrait using luminous microbes. I don’t know if Mr. Goldblum has seen or cared about this, but his acting and personality have always engaged me and often made me smile. @jeffgoldblum @emiliegoldblum

Thinking of the late, great Abigail Salyers today. Remarkable scientist and human being.
I wrote this about Abigail many years ago now. A true #MicrobialHero.

Today is the birthday of the late Dr. Esther Lederberg. I was fortunate to know her a little bit while I was in graduate school so long ago. She was so remarkable. My wife Dr. Jennifer Quinn created this icon #LuxPortrait of Esther. Please read about Esther here: asm.org/articles/202...

I recently learned that Dr. Kimberly Walker, a microbiologist friend of mine for thirty years, passed away suddenly. My wife Jennifer Quinn created this #LuxPortrait #LuxArt image of Kim. Please take a moment and read her obituary and remember her, as I will.

A week from today, I teach my last class—my beloved microbiology—before retirement from @univpugetsound . Disturbing if accurate #LuxPortrait by @jennifer.j.quinn .
Wish me luck, positivity, and increased skills as a #MicrobialEvangelist.

Had the most lovely podcast session yesterday with friend and colleague @arianebriegel.bsky.social . I even shared this #LuxPortrait (painted by Jennifer Quinn) in honor of her position at the Pasteur Institute. I guess it is fair to say I have some famous friends.

Growing up, MLK was and is a hero of mine. His messages were very influential to me. My wife @jennifer.j.quinn painted this #LuxPortrait of Dr. King using luminous bacteria. It’s a metaphor: if we all organize the right way, we can light a way forward, perhaps.
