BOSTON, Oct. 12 (UPI) -- A Boston biologist whose skill with Jell-O shots earned him unexpected catering jobs said he is looking to turn his art into a full-time business.

Matt Micari, a biologist who blogs about his Jell-O experiments at gelology.blogspot.com, said he first started creating unusual Jell-O shots to help him meet people at parties when he first moved to the city, the Boston Globe reported Wednesday.

"I figured out that if I'd show up to a party with Jell-O shots, people would talk to me," he said.

Micari, whose creations include a sriracha shot containing the spicy sauce, fresh cilantro, pineapple, lime, and coconut milk gelatin, said the creations did wonders for his popularity and resulted in a few catering jobs.

The "gelologist," who is particularly proud of a bust of President Barack Obama made from salted caramel-flavored gelatin, said he is now looking for a way to make Jell-O shot creation into a full-time gig.
