Kim Snowden

I’m a scientist who likes plants, hormones, signaling and development. You can see more of my polymer clay on Instagram:

Here’s a new polymer clay cane for all the #cellbiology fans out there. 2 years ago I made a plant cell cane, this time I went for an animal cell 😀

I was watching Lord of the Rings last night and realized there are many parallels with academia!

@pilarcubas @EMBO Congratulations Pilar!

Plant & Food Research has been making podcasts aimed at helping early career scientists - you can find them here: https://t.co/lGgZWPeICD . I joined in for the latest installment with @MattTempleton59, Jay Jayaraman and Hilary Ireland to talk about funding (with a NZ focus).

@KritiGu03475018 If you check my profile I show a few process photos for other canes. Or you can check out polymer clay cane tutorials on YouTube (Donna Kato and Fiona Abel-Smith have great ones).

[Kim Snowden @KimSnowden12]

This cane is for the plant biologists out there - a shoot apical meristem 😀

[Kim Snowden @KimSnowden12]

@FrannyBarbs Thank you 😊

[Kim Snowden @KimSnowden12]

@StriderTricker thank you so much 😀

Plants can cry! Stressed plants emit airborne sounds that can be recorded and classified. I am amazed by these findings published in Cell https://t.co/fyswT6pwoY

@FrugalKiwi @paulainauckland To be fair it nearly broke my brain figuring out how to do that one. Took me a few weeks of contemplation before starting it.

[Kim Snowden @KimSnowden12]

@roquepec We are lucky in that respect

[Kim Snowden @KimSnowden12]

Here’s a cane that represents a New Zealand summer to me, a beach with flowering pohutukawa trees.

[Kim Snowden @KimSnowden12]

@roquepec It is Onetangi! One of my favourite beaches 😀

[Kim Snowden @KimSnowden12]

@latita_de So far a few earrings and some pins

[Kim Snowden @KimSnowden12]

Here’s a new cane, based on the Great Wave off Kanagawa by Hokusai. There was possibly more thinking in the making of this one than any of my other canes.

[Kim Snowden @KimSnowden12]

@VKomyakova13 it's a polymer clay cane 🙂

[Kim Snowden @KimSnowden12]

@rhbloomer what does it look like popped? We also grew some popcorn this year, but just the normal yellow variety
