My sister made the frame in the background as a present when I passed my PhD. It's not a real certificate. It's a decorative frame in my office which I love. My sister does commissions: megansmethurst...
We're moving house soon so I'm hoping to get more prints to decorate the wall in my new office! If you know of any artists that make scientifically accurate or data related art send them my way!
