'Little' goodbye drawing on white board. You know, me and pens... I get a bit outta control when left to my own devices 😜 #thanksforhavingme #whiteboard #scienereallyisamazing #ARMIarts #barekworld

One of the interesting character I met at ARMI was Rod aka The Fish Guy. He takes care of the fish and also loves Batman so I tried to mesh the two into an ink drawing. #ARMIarts #rod #fishwhisperer #ARMI #ink #batman #epauletteshark

Some #zebrafish eggs we collected earlier in the week are hatching! They're smaller than an eyelash and photographed through a microscope #babythings #ARMIarts #fishies #🐟

This tiny fish making big splashes in science! I've been lucky enough to get to see these little guys, from the inside and out! We collected their eggs and watched them developing day by day. Their genetic structure is very close to humans, their tiny hearts very similar to ours minus a couple of valves, making them very important in understanding and treating heart problems. One scientist I met spoke of a future where heart issues could be detected and treated while still in the womb! I totally respect these Lil guys and their contribution to helping us live longer, healthier lives. I feel my residency should be part art and part sharing what I see, do and learn, then passing it on to everyone! It's challenged my views on animal testing. The aren't rabbits with eyes full of cosmetics. No life is taken without a valid reason and strict ethics are in place. I feel the overwhelming respect the scientists have for them (even tiny Lil fish get an anesthetic to remove minuscule pieces of fin) #zebrafish #monashuni #ARMIarts #research
