It is a medium-sized dish, standard in high school science labs, measuring about 4.5 inches. The base background is a lime green epoxy with a yellow border. In the middle of the pieces sitting diagonally across is three white circle with a bright yellow circle in the middle. The yellow has a splatter effect, making the three circles resemble eggs fried sunny-side up. Eight total long thin ribbons connect the first and third circle on each side.

Once the material reached a syrupy consistency, she applies about three to five layers within a petri dish.

When asked about her remarkable petri dish project Reis says, “I feel like there are endless possibilities.” In her blog The Daily Dish, she has showcased a different Petri Dish every day since the beginning of
