Hi, I'm Marianne, AKA Noodlemaz!

I've actually been here since 2022 but my old instance just got shut down (med-mastodon refugee). Please follow me again here 🙃

I'm a science communicator based in London, UK.

I'm in London's nerdiest choir, Ready Singer One - we do music from video games, film and TV!

My PhD was in cancer biology; molecular pathology of cancer.

I love games, nature, SciFi friends (hi!), music etc. and look forward to chatting here

And here the gentleman who decided to block out path today. As you can see, we ended up leaving the trail to walk around him, assuming this was better for everyone, including the nature... (this was not in the National Park but in an area frequented by people and cattle so leaving the trail was OK).

One photo is no zoom, the other 3x...

There are less than 10000 Andean condors, the largest birds of prey, left in the world. They live up to 70 years, pair up for life and care for their chicks for years... Absolutely amazing (and very ugly when being face to face with them as happened to us today on a hiking trail 😅) birds!

Today, we had the luck to see four of them (partially very, very) close - three in this video.

This griffon vulture wasn’t planned but insisted on being drawn. Used .3 & .5 Pentel mechanical pencils plus graphite powder. Vultures are survivors. Quiet, patient, powerful. Like floating grief with wings. #sciart #birds
