Join us for a discussion about Bacterial Art 🧫 and learn how to make your own art from living bacteria! Some bacteria are naturally colorful🎨 and can have intriguing textures. They grow, sense, and interact with each other and their environment. Scientists👩‍🔬 have been using their growth patterns and changes in their shape and color to study their biology. Artists 🧑‍🎨 can too use the dynamic growth of bacteria to make art. Join us at https://www.meetup.com/BosLab/events/274580075/
