New USPS stamps have Baylor College of Medicine connection

The U.S. Postal Service announced seven new stamp subjects for 2023, and this round there is a Houston connection. Two images produced by Jason Kirk, Director of the Optical Imaging & Vital Microscopy Core at Baylor College of Medicine, were chosen as part of the Life Magnified category.

They are among 20 different images chosen by the USPS that capture details of life undetectable by the human eye. They are taken with microscopes and highly specialized photographic techniques that can capture the fine details found in nature and in many cases used in scientific research.
