Remember playing with petri dishes in seventh grade science class and thinking science was like the coolest thing since New Kids on the Block? Well, petri dish coolness is back and totally hipper than NKOTB.

Artist Klari Reis painted a petri dish each day for a year, creating a stunning collection of marvelous science-friendly art. Reis’ blog describes the project as:

“Brilliantly colored life forms dance across the wall in theses detail images of an installation project composed of a series of hand painted plexiglass petri dishes…Working with biotech companies in San Francisco, Klari uses organic cellular imagery and natural reactions to explore our complex relationship with today’s biotechnological industry.”
