🦇 Meet the Creator 🦇
Wow — thank you all for being here! I’ve had a wave of new followers recently, and I just wanted to take a moment to reintroduce myself.
Hi, I’m Dr. Moe — a heart transplant researcher with a PhD in evolutionary biology, and genetic susceptibility to cardiovascular pathology.
I’m endlessly fascinated by how life works (and unravels), and I’ve always been drawn to the strange beauty of biology, especially where science meets the macabre.
Outside the lab, I’m the founder of Formaldeheidi, (nowadays I have a wonderful human who prepares art by my side) a space born from my love of medical history, anatomical art, and natural historical biology. I’m also a proud advocate for bat conservation and deeply committed to sustainable practices in taxidermy and biological specimen preservation — everything I work with is sourced responsibly, with respect for the life it once held.
At my core, I believe in ars moriendi — “the art of dying” — because death isn’t the end; it’s part of a continuous cycle of renewal, curiosity, and sometimes even beauty. Whether you’re here for the science, the stories, or the oddities, I’m so glad you’ve found your way to this little corner: Let’s get weird — respectfully.
