Anne MArtin
Anne is a split personality of both scientist and artist, but luckily the two complement each other fairly well. She currently is a postdoctoral researcher in the Miller lab at the University of Oregon where she studies neural circuit formation. She also holds a degree in graphic design from the University of Georgia and strives to create both fine art and infographics that simplify complex scientific theories into consumable visual feasts. You can see some of her work at eannemartin.com. She enjoys getting paint on her jeans, playing long convoluted European board games, running ridiculous distances, and encouraging her dog Watney to learn to fly so he can more efficiently chase birds.
Joseph Bruckner
Joseph Bruckner is a postdoctoral fellow in the Eisen and Washbourne laboratories at the University of Oregon, where he studies how microbes influence neurodevelopment. Joseph enjoys incorporating dynamic imaging in his research, and finds that capturing the previously invisible yields compelling stories. See some of his latest work at josephbruckner.com. He also believes that the inherent aesthetic appeal of many discoveries can be used to improve accessibility of the scientific enterprise for broad audiences. Joseph balances life in the lab and finds inspiration with outdoor pursuits such as hiking the hills, skiing the mountains, and kitesurfing the oceans of Oregon.
Adam Fries
Adam is the biological imaging core manager within the Genomics and Cell Characterization Core at the University of Oregon. He uses his background in physics and astronomy to aid researchers with their imaging and analytic questions. Adam enjoys teaching and likes to incorporate at least some time on the white board during microscope training sessions.
Ruth Maust
Ruth is a chemist who is inspired by art. She is currently a PhD candidate in the Jasti research group at the University of Oregon, where she makes new types of carbon nanomaterials and studies their properties. In both art and science, Ruth enjoys sketching out and rearranging ideas, figuring out ways to use leftover materials, working with color, and reflecting on the creative process.
Scott Hansen
Scott is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and a member of the Institute of Molecular Biology. His lab studies the enzymology and emergent properties of cell signaling at the plasma membrane. As a microscopist, Scott gravitates towards visual based learning. He is interested in using new forms of visual media to communicate his research ambitions. Outside of lab, Scott enjoys gardening, DIY projects, and fermentation science.
