We're getting there! Lovely to see colours other than grey the last few days! 🌱
As a microbiologist in the oral microbiome space, I fully agree 😅

Some recent confocal microscopy of our mock oral #bacteria as they begin to form #biofilms! Each species is fluorescently stained before being mixed together. Biofilms are found everywhere, from animals to aquatic ecosystems to #soils. #Academicsky #Art #Microbes #SciArt #SignaBoost #AcademicChatter
