      <image:title>Blog - Reflections from the ASCUS Lab - The fact that ASCUS could expand the team in 2025 (it’s double the size now) has been revolutionary. As a result (my wonderful colleague encouraged me to make time to apply) ASCUS won the Creative Edinburgh Innovation Award - yes, that’s right - we are an award winning organisation! Sound’s a bit pretentious doesn’t it? Oh well - it’s on our website home page and we will be claiming the tag line from now on, forever and always. But really, it's wonderful that ASCUS has been recognised by Edinburgh’s creative community for what we do.</image:title>

      <image:caption>The last quarter of 2025 was great joy as I got to venture out to the wonderful Edinburgh Montessori Arts school. My mission: Inspire teens about all things science in a hands-on way. We’ve made patterns with bacteria, analysed soil with soil chromatography, made leather with bacteria and yeast, and so much more! I’m really looking forward to carrying on with these sessions in 2026.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 2024 Highlights - Our year hit the ground running with the project Genescapes by multidisciplinary artist, Scott Hunter. The incorrect disposal of chemicals used in the photography industry poses a significant threat to the environment, leading to silver contamination of water sources and subsequent harm to aquatic life. Genescapes aims to prevent such pollution by improving plants' natural silver accumulation abilities. Scott started his lab research and experimentation with genetically modifying bacteria, as a means to introduce a selected plant species with a metal tolerance gene. The methods and results of this lab-based research informed some creative outputs including a library of evaporated substances and imagery of plants under the microscope.

      <image:title>Blog - 2024 Highlights - Algacraft was selected as part of London North Eastern Railway’s (LNER) flagship accelerator programme, FutureLabs, designed to bring new innovative concepts to the rail industry to address key challenges. Algacraft’s pilot project aimed to prove that microalgae can be successfully grown outdoors in the UK climate without the need for temperature control, and that the system was able to capture carbon on a small scale. The success of this pilot has led to them entering a second phase of testing with LNER. Image ©LNER</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - 2024 Highlights - Unearthing Micro Life is an art-science creative learning programme, designed for teens or adults who may be socially isolated, find traditional learning environments challenging, or don’t have access to extracurricular programmes to enhance skill development. This programme aims to enable participants to engage creatively with their local greenspaces through outdoor interaction and sample collection, supported by hands-on experimentation in the ASCUS Lab. This year's programme was delivered together with Edinburgh and Lothians Greenspace Trust (ELGT) and Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS). We explored a new site this year- Hermitage of Braid and Blackford Hill Nature Reserve. While we haven’t had a chance to write about this year's programme, you can get a gist of what this programme is all about from our post from last year's programme.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - 2023 in a nutshell - We were thrilled to present at the Art &amp; Science: Connections &amp; Interactions conference in Dundee earlier this year. It was a wonderful event and it was great to see some of the other work happening around Scotland that explores the intersections between art and science. We have since been invited to contribute to the Scottish Society for Art History Journal which has now been published in their 2023/2024 Volume! Check out our article here.</image:title>

      <image:caption>We were excited to participate in a pilot workshop alongside Art Walk Projects and artist Scott Hunter. This workshop provided members of Access to Industry's Photographic Arts Group Empowerment (PAGE) group with the chance to explore alternative photographic techniques and learn about developing analogue film using plants. Additionally, participants had the unique opportunity to visit the ASCUS Lab, gaining a fresh perspective on various aspects of these creative processes.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 2022 - ASCUS Over and Out! - Have you ever been to a music festival and expected to see a microscope activity on the setlist? No? That’s what we thought, but combining art with science is in our nature, so off we went with our microscopes and some volunteers to run microscopy sessions at the Knockengorroch Music Festival in May and what an absolute blast we had. Festival goers taking a break from the dancing and music collected their own samples from the surrounding area as well as explored some of the ASCUS slide collection that we brought along. It was very apparent after the session that there were other micro-festival-goers enjoying the party too!</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - 2022 - ASCUS Over and Out! - We were invited to co-host a microscopy session, The Secrets of Soil  in Dunbar with artist Natalie Taylor. Farmers, families and brought in their own soil samples from their gardens, farmlands and veggie gardens to see and understand the importance of diverse microscopic life in soil.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - 2022 - ASCUS Over and Out! - Working with anthropology PhD student, Iona Walker we hosted a workshop for anthropology students that focused on the social life of soil. ‘We are not separate from the soil’ invited participants to engage creatively and anthropologically with soil as a more-than-human substance through making 'found poems', creating soil chromotographs and inviting new perspectives through microscopy. The workshop provided opportunities for thinking together about soil as an overlooked but vital substance: not only for nourishing our ecosystems, but also for provoking new ways of imagining research and collaboration.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Dispatches from ASCUS #2: Multispecies Mingling - I ask Jiri what the gummy brown sheets are laying precariously on the workbench divider. “This is Kombucha Leather” he tells me “A designer here is growing them for a project on eco-friendly fashion”. That would explain the smell. Jiri shows me the trays in which a jelly is forming on top of a strange coffee-brown substance. He tells me that kombucha is fermented by symbiotic colonies of bacteria and yeasts (SCOBYs), which are fed with something acidic like a black tea, coffee or vinegar and sugar. As the SCOBY grows it gets thicker, resembling a brown jelly like substance which dries to form a translucent sheet of leather like material. During the microbiology course, I got to produce my own circle of leather in an old jam jar and see the process for myself.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Dispatches from ASCUS #2: Multispecies Mingling - The ASCUS lab offers the possibility of working with microbes, one of the key players in my anthropological work. Under the workbenches laden with machines and instruments are fridges: home to the lab’s stocks of microorganisms. These range from slime moulds – an oddly charismatic stringy yellow organism without category that eats oats and solves mazes; to purple, red, orange, pink and green pigmented bacteria donated to the lab by the team that produced a bacterial movie poster for the 2011 film Contagion. Jiri takes a flask from one of the drawers.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Dispatches from ASCUS #1: What is Anthropology? - Welcome to Dispatches from ASCUS! My name is Iona Walker, PhD candidate at the University of Edinburgh and anthropologist in residence at ASCUS for the summer of 2022. I am very excited to be writing to you in the first of a series of Dispatches from ASCUS, a series where I will give you an ‘ethnographer’s eye view’ into the world of ASCUS. I am an anthropologist. Anthropology is tricky to define. If you ever meet one of us in the wild and ask us what it is we do, you’ll probably see us shift uncomfortably, smile apologetically and say something along the lines of “well… it’s a long story”.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - That’s a wrap! - We were once again able to connect scientists and artists for the fourth iteration and very first online version of our Art and Science on a Postcard event series in partnership with InterSci Edinburgh, in April. This was a three week collaboration effort bringing together scientists and creative practitioners from different stages of their career with research interests and practices ranging from microbiology, immunology and translational neuroscience  to multimedia, silversmithing and arts education. As a result of this workshop happening virtually, participants joined us from across the UK and the beautiful postcards that resulted, show some of the ideas that can spark, and the creative forms of translation that can emerge when individuals from different disciplines come together.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - That’s a wrap! - In May, we finally launched our visual arts exhibition Syncrasy, together with Summerhall as part of the 2021 Edinburgh Science Festival. For the very first time we ran an online artist talks programme to compliment these exhibitions (if you missed them, they are available on our YouTube channel which we launched this year!).</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - That’s a wrap! - We were delighted when The Rooted Sea: Halophytic Futures, a brand new research project, in partnership with Sonia Mehra Chawla and Ray Interactive was chosen out of a thousand open call entries, as one of 21 projects shortlisted to be presented at the Driving the Human festival in Berlin in October this year. It was a thrilling experience to join artists, designers, makers, researchers and technologists from around the globe at this festival and to participate in this experimental initiative which aspires to shape sustainable and collective futures that combine science, technology, and the arts in a transdisciplinary and collaborative approach. We were excited to participate and launch our new project concepts at the Festival and watch this space for more news about this project in 2022.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - That’s a wrap! - Five couples interested in fertility treatment and the research used daily by scientists in this field came along to ASCUS Lab for a workshop centered around exploring the beautiful, but sometimes troublesome molecule: DNA. This workshop was led by fertility researchers, Gerard Pieper and Bettina Mihalas from the Adèle Marston lab at the University of Edinburgh, in partnership with the Wellcome Trust Centre for Cell Biology, and the amazingly talented artist, Emily Fong who captured the afternoon’s events that were full of learning and laughter. Read the full blog post here to delve deeper into what happened during this event.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - A day in the life of a fertility researcher: Finally back in ASCUS Lab! - By adding a glowing gene, scientists can monitor how cells divide, and it can also give an indication of the function of certain genes that may be involved in causing fertility problems. Without techniques like this, fertility researchers would have a really hard time trying to solve problems that are based in teeny tiny almost-invisible molecules. Participants performed part of this DNA cutting procedure themselves and realised the immense skill that researchers need in order to conduct these types of experiments, with a unanimous agreement that accurate pipetting is really difficult!</image:title>

      <image:title>Molecular Architectures - 2-Day workshop - Cross-Disciplinarity through diversity</image:title>
      <image:caption>Diving into cross-disciplinary explorations, the diverse group of Molecular Chemists, Medicinal Chemists, Microbiologists, Biodesigners, Fashion Designers, Experience Designers and Virtual Reality Artists was invited to undertake a range of chemistry experiments. Paired up in teams of a scientist and a designer/artist, they followed the protocols/recipes and poured and heated and stirred, resulting in often surprising changes in colour, consistency and volume.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Testimonials - “When we discussed stereotypes, the misconceptions tended to be that STEM roles are for males, often socially awkward and so smart that they wouldn't want to talk to beginner scientists like the students. I suppose they had 'mad scientists' images in their heads? I try to highlight the contribution of women and minority groups to science in our lessons but I think seeing real people in their area of expertise has helped a lot. It has reinforced the interdisciplinary nature of STEM with a real world context, and taken away any misconceptions regarding the stereotypes around the STEM professions.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Testimonials - “The scientists involved in the CIIE project agree that working with artists made them take a step back and look at their research from an artists perspective and identify motivations behind their scientific interests. This has been crucial in rethinking our long term science communication and public engagement strategy. The collaboration allowed scientists to discover similarities between the artistic practice and their own day to day work and sparked a new wave of interest in science communication and sci-art collaborations in particular”</image:title>

      <image:title>Testimonials - “I found ASCUS at a time where I was desperate to the see the world more intimately than my own two eyes could manage. Since then, through their open lab, microscopy course and dedicated professional partnerships, my art practice is free to explore so many more dimensions, and I am well equipped to open doors for others. Most importantly, we've had FUN!”</image:title>
