Front Cover: Originally, this poster was created using colored cardstock and a black sharpie. The card itself was a reconstructed scan of the original 18inx24in poster, fit to a 5inx7in cardstock card.

The original poster was a reference to my first ever scientific publication, aptly titled “Evolutionary adaptation to hyperstable microtubules selectively targets tubulins and is empowered by the spindle assembly checkpoint”.

You can read my paper here.

Back Cover: Something of a microtubule joke. Tubulin monomers “polymerize”, or assemble, into larger structures called microtubules. Microtubules can then fall apart, or undergo “catastrophe”.
