Asking for a little favor.
A few years ago -for obvious reasons- I deleted all my american services. (instagram, facebook etc)
The result was my business plummeting down, no projects came in anymore, making it nearly impossible to come around after 20 years of career.
The favor I'm asking is if you know someone who's working with illustrators, or even just interested, just share my stuff please. Thanks :)

My daughter will study one semester at Norwegian University of Science and Technology (#NTNU) in #Trondheim (#Norway), between August 2025 and January 2026. 🇳🇴😍
It looks like she can't get a student apartment despite being there with #Erasmus+, European programme for education, because it’s a short period of time. 😞
Has anyone here on Mastodon already been in this situation, and would have advices about how to find an apartment in Trondheim from France?
Please RT 🙏
Here is a Roman D20 carved from crystal in the 3rd century AD. These were used, historians suspect for telling fortunes. However, no one can *prove* they weren't used for some kind role playing game. Which is what getting a fortune told with a die is kind of like anyways if you ask me.
"roll for initiative"
Something I made for my intro stats class a few years ago. Nobody really appreciated it, which is a tragedy because it's absolutely top-notch humor.

#OnThisDay, 15 Apr 1960, Ella Baker convenes a conference of 126 independent student protest groups. The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) forms as a result. SNCC coordinated and assisted direct-action challenges to segregation in the USA.
Baker was a civil rights activist for five decades, and advocated grassroots activism. She also criticised the misogyny she encountered within the movement.

This is Sechi Katō (1893-1989) in 1918. It's her graduation photo from a women's college in Tokyo.
Eventually she would become the first woman principal investigator at RIKEN, Japan's national chemistry & physics institute. She faced incredibly daunting hurdles before then...

PhD in Cell Biology
I am a Research Scientist and lab manager for the Tootle lab in the Biology department at the University of Iowa. We use Drosophila oogenesis to understand the mechanisms regulating prostaglandin production and function. My particular interest is the developmental roles of lipid droplets and their connection to prostaglandins.
I love biology and teaching people about what is happening in cells. I also am really interested in microscopy.
I also like cats, horses and horseback riding, fish keeping (I have two aquariums), video games-particularly the Half-Life franchise and Half Life mods, and I have recently gotten into VR (NOT META!) so if you want to chat about any of these topics that would be great!
