Protocells Triptych welcomed at UC Santa Cruz

Shoshanah and Prof. David Deamer talk about their collaboration on November 4, 2022.

The Protocells Triptych is the fruit of my collaboration with David Deamer, Professor Emeritus, Department of Biomolecular Engineering at University of California Santa Cruz and world expert in origins of life research. The collaboration began in 2021 and culminated in the pastels being displayed in the Kenneth S. Norris Center for Natural History at UCSC. For more detailed scientific information about each pastel, go to https://www.cybermuse.com/inspired-by-biology and click on each of the pastels: “Promise,” “Emergence,” and “Life.”

A reception was held on November 4, 2022, in the Kenneth S. Norris Center for Natural History at UCSC to inaugurate the exhibit of Shoshanah Dubiner’s pastels. The Center is full of stuffed birds, mammalian skeletons, spiders, butterflies and many other organisms. It is a perfect place for Shoshanah’s images depicting possible stages in the story of the origins of life.

Shoshanah Dubiner and David Deamer remember the great microbiolgist, Lynn Margulis, whose pictures was on the Dia de los Muertos altar behind Shoshanah.
