ALT Original cartoon created by UCSF Turnbaugh lab microbiology PhD student Rachel Rock. "Bifidonut adoughloscentis" is an original pun on Bifidobacterium adoloscentis with no AI involvement. Rachel used Procreate for Apple iPad Pro to draw the "Bifidonut", the y-shaped sprinkles capturing the unique morphology of bifidobacteria. Canva free edition was used for graphic text and layout. AI (NightCafe) was used in generating donut source images for artistic inspiration but not used in any way directly in the creation process [again, art is drawn by hand using the Apple pencil, and no AI is included in the final image]

ALT Original poem written by UCSF Turnbaugh lab microbiology PhD student Rachel Rock. Canva free edition was used for layout and graphics, save the "E. lenta" graphic, which Rachel created using Procreate for Apple iPad Pro. No AI was used for any part of the creative process or included in the final poem in any way, shape, or form.
