Finally Logged Back Onto Tumblr, It’s A Licorice Candy And Thyroid Disease Kind Of Night

Quick introduction

I share lab notes and doodles relating to medical biochemistry. Hopefully you can learn something new while passing through my page!

⭐ Please don’t use my posts for medical advice. I'm a scientist, not a physician (If I happen to get something wrong or forget a fact, let me know and I'll have it fixed right away)

⭐ I don't tolerate exclusionists, gatekeepers, performative ethicists, or charlatans

⭐ My drawings aren't meant to be taken seriously, I'm doing this for fun

⭐ I have a moodboard page, and it's @peroxide-foam if you're interested in some crispy cleancore and labcore

Page of some notes from a thing about vitamin C deficiency, including a print of a rocket that came with the book

Got some microorganisms that are soon to be examined 🐚🐟🔬

First post! Feels kinda empty in here so I’m sharing the most recent photo I’ve taken. Have a flask of isopropyl alcohol chilling in a bath.

Thyroid function panel (data stolen from my diagnostics ref) with the added bonus of some structures I’ll probably regret not being able to recognize without a guide

May you all reach a point in your career where you can steal a chart off the internet and only draw it halfway then say almost nothing important about it and file it as an “important research note” for later use in a presentation

When I first got started with directing my own experiments, I had that “I don’t want to be seen with my fancy textbooks because I’ll look like I don’t know what I’m doing!” outlook going on almost constantly.

Now I’m here saying “Hold up, I forgot how this works, let me get the book that I remember learning it from.”

Guess what? Mitochondrial disorder causing mutations of human twinkle helicase are now able to be mapped with the first 3D model made by researchers at the National Institute of Health! Here's my rendition of the heptamer!

This is the most simplified I could make it... Here’s a histology “slide” of a human adrenal gland for y’all who “don’t do cells.” (Placement may be a bit inaccurate, cause I stole this from a borrowed notebook.)

Fun fact: I once had someone try to argue with me that the adrenal gland is a “kidney warmer” that does not actually produce hormones, because “it doesn’t look like a real organ.”
