"weißt du eigentlich, wie lieb ich dich hab" - watercolour, old sketchbook

The ‘upside-down’ jellyfish (Cassiopea sp.) thrives in near-shore marine habitats. It is commonly found on seagrass beds or in mangrove forests, resting its exumbrella against the sediment - exposing its oral arms to the sunlight. Why this fellow is sunbathing all the time? Its oral arms carry symbiotic zooxanthellae, dinoflagellates (marine algae) of the genus Symbiodinium that assimilate carbon and nitrogen for this gelatinous friend. 

great weekend trip to Paris! :)

How ArtSci are you? Submission are open! 

I am super excited to invite you to participate in the inaugural ArtSci exhibition, La Rencontre, this spring at ETH Zürich, Switzerland! La Rencontre is an art exhibition for scientists by scientists - we encourage everyone to submit data, videos, illustrations, or any sort of artwork that conveys a scientific idea, message, or concept – whether related to your research, side project or simply data by other scientists that you love and want to illustrate. The goal is to inspire scientists to think about and present their research in new, creative ways that promote science communication. Pieces will be displayed on the green floor in CHN in ETH Zentrum from 22nd April to 6th May, with a vernissage on the 22.04 and an official closing/award ceremony on the 06.05.18.  Submission are open - please contact artsci.ethz@gmail.com in case of questions, or check out our website: https://artsci.ethz.ch or our facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/ArtSci.ETHZ/ I can’t wait to see what the magic of science and art sparks in you! <3
