Fun science art example: Jennifer Welsh on Zachary Copfer glowing microbe drawings

Microbiology art pops up again.  This time in this story from Jennifer Welsh: Galaxies And Faces Drawn With Glowing Bacteria - Business Insider .  For more see the artist Zachary Copfer's website here: http://sciencetothepowerofart.com.  Other stories about Copfer are popping up too - not sure if their is some publicity blitz going on or not but see below for examples:

ut whatever is going on the art is worth checking out.
