My most recent design/illustration project is out! 🐡Three infographics for the conservation genetics workshop, aimed at practitioners working in #biodiversity conservation #consgen 🧪 Available in German, French, Italian and English with a CC BY license: free to use, share and modify
Front pages of three infographics: 
1: Types of genetic markers: what can they reveal?
2: Concepts of population genetics
3: Conservation genetics in practice: how to plan a project?An infographic in a form of a folded flyer, showing the front and the back page. The front page has a title: "Types of genetic markers: what can they reveal?", as well as bullet points for the main take-home messages, and an illustration of three levels of biodiversity: genes, species and populations. The back page has an info box about open and FAIR data and the footnote with contact details, "how to cite", funding, and institutional logosAn infographic in a form of a folded flyer, showing the open inside page with a large table explaining the four essential biodiversity variables: genetic diversity, genetic differentiation, inbreeding, and the effective population size. The German language version is shown.An infographic in a form of a folded flyer, showing the front page. This is the French language version of the infographic titled "Conservation genetics in practice: how to plan a project?" Apart from the bullet points for the main take-home messages there is an illustration of the main steps of the project planning. The visual summary follows a path from 1) define the problem & form the question, 2) identify partners, 3) plan the project, 4) do the work and obtain results, 5) communicate findings, 6) formulate recommendations. There are visual icons for the different partners (land owners/farmers, engineers, foresters, researchers, nature conservationists, planners, government agencies) and an additional path going back from partners (2) to problem/question (1) labeled „co-create”

there’s so so so much to be said about woodie guthrie’s radical ideas living strongly within an early 20th century american framework. this idea that you have to conquer nature to control it…. in many ways that prob comes from a felt necessity to prevent catastrophe ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Councilor Smith moves to amend the Central Albina settlement - increasing it from $2M to $8.5M. This comes closer to recognizing the true scale of generational harm caused by systematic displacement of Black families. I seconded the amendment.

When the Lunar Orbiter 4 spacecraft gave us our first good view of the Orientale basin it was revelatory. Not only was this giant multi ringed impact basin first revealed in its general form, other such basins were recognized across the Lunar near side. Oil paints on canvas panel.
This is an oil painting done on a 3 foot wide canvas panel. The view is dominated by the Orientale Basin, a vast sprawling depression with three concentric mountain rings surrounding a dark lava plain covering the lowest central region. The upper portions of this view are visible from Earth, with the higher lighter cratered highlands contrasting with the dark Maria plains filling the lowlands.
 
This oil painting was done about 1970, referring to numerous original prints of this giant impact basin. It took over a month, starting from a perspective drawing that I scaled up to the panel size. The large dark region near the middle is Mare Orientale, the 'Sea of the East', named by German astronomer Julius Franz in 1906 back when Lunar East and West were 'flipped', used in reference to the Terrestrial viewer rather than the Lunar globe. In the mid 20th century Percy Wilkins and Patrick Moore made observations and described this Maria 'lake'. which is at the very edge, or limb', of the Moon as seen from Earth. At the most favorable orientation, or libration, of the Moon the far 'shore' of this large lave lake can barely be seen. In 1962 Arizona's Lunar and Planetary laboratory, under the great planetary scientist Gerard Kuiper, produced a Lunar atlas showing overhead views of the regions of the moon visible from Earth. This was accomplished by taking the best full disk lunar photos and projecting them with a narrow angle lens onto a white hemisphere at the end of a long hall. On the photos showing the Western limb the new view looking 'down' on the feature suddenly revealed the concentric mountain rings for the first time. William Hartmann, planetary scientist and artist, was first to realize the significance of this feature and soon found similar and more degraded or lava buried examples across the Lunar near side. Orientale was recognized, particularly with the aid of the Lunar Orbiter photos, as the youngest and best preserved of the giant Lunar impact basins.

People who only engage with the topics of intimate violence to complain about how survivor movements go “too far” reveal their true priorities: to suppress challenges to patriarchy. At least a third of women worldwide have been victims of physical or sexual violence. No, we have not gone “too far.”

Cutting $20 billion to NIH over 25 years may save $500 billion on paper, but it’d end up costing $8.2 trillion in lost human health. But NIH isn't the only thing being cut. The budget also slashes all NSF-funded science by 73 percent. NASA faces “the biggest single-year cut to NASA in history."
