Materials throughout historical areas
A popular science illustration I made for Dr. Sacha Escamez about various materials used throughout our history; hopefully continuing with the last sustainable age these days & in our near future.
Dr. Sacha Escamez research profile: https://bit.ly/2PcB5Kv

Limited Fossil Fuel Sources we use right now
The first part of a three-part visual communication strategy for the foundation of a new institute working mainly on life-chemistry couplings for production of renewables and carbon sequestration.
Here we can see the current status of fossil fuel usage that we have in society and the flux of CO2 from the ground to the athmosphere.

Alternative approaches sequester released CO2
Second Illustration explaining the two strategies the Institute would work on to reverse the CO2 flow. The main strategy is electro-microbial conversion & using renewable electricity to produce bulk products like heat, fuel or oil. The second part is using plants and sequestering the CO2 in the soil.

Three departments of the Institute
The three departments that would be part of the new institute: electrochemistry & catalysis, microbial engineering & synthetic biology and a more photosynthesis/plant oriented department working on carbon sequestration.

CRISPR/Cas edited plants
Simplified Illustrations I made about the four CRISPR-edited plants rice, potato, maniok and wine. THe illustrations were used for an article written by Dominik Modrzejewski for the “Progressive Agrarwende” https://bit.ly/2EbMtzT
The article, written in german can be found here: https://bit.ly/2E9vIFz
Endosymbiotic theory
A popular science Illustration I made to show the origins of mitochondria and chloroplasts in plants and which organisms developed from the cellular precursors.
The illustration was made for a presentation of Prof. Per Gardeström for swedish TV, explaining Photosynthesis: “Fotosyntesen – ett samarbete mellan cellens energifabriker”
The video (in swedish) & some more of my illustrations can be seen here: https://bit.ly/2sgOwAb
Biorefineries and potential products
An illustration I made for a popular science article about biorefineries for the SLU owned newsletter Fakta Skog.
I collaborated with the authors Totte Niittylä (https://bit.ly/2tbIrp3), Urs Fisher (https://bit.ly/2skwFbo), Peter Immerzeel (https://bit.ly/2LMgVF9) and Christoffer Jonhsson (https://bit.ly/2YFGWet) on this Illustration.

Overview of the role of mitochondria during developmental Leaf senescence
A press-release illustration I made for summarising one of my PhD projects.
Photosynthesis
Simplified Illustration about photosynthesis for a presentation by Per Gardeström to be broadcasted in swedish TV: “Fotosyntesen – ett samarbete mellan cellens energifabriker”

Cross Section through leaf
Simplified Illustration about different cell types and organelles involved in photosynthesis for a presentation by Per Gardeström to be broadcasted in swedish TV: “Fotosyntesen – ett samarbete mellan cellens energifabriker”

Future vision of alternative protein sources
I illustrated a potential future scenario in which we could have our own insect farms in the kitchen, feeding them food scraps & finally harvesting the insects & consuming them as alternative protein sources.
The article was written (in german) by Martin Reich & I provided the Illustrations. If you want to have a look: https://bit.ly/35d5jCM
Another potential future vision about animal- &/or plant-based restaurants
In this article Martin Reich is trying out alternatives to animal-based food and comparing different products available on the market.

Trees
Different type of trees I have done for various illustrations: Arabidopsis-Poplar cross, young Poplar tree grown in the greenhouse and Banana trees.
Fibonacci Sequence
A quick black-white illustration I made for the yearly Inktober to show that the fibonacci sequence can be basically found everywhere in nature :)
Karrikins - recently discovered plant kormones or growth regulators
Karrikins are plant growth regulators that can be found in the smoke of burnt plants. They are known to be responsible for helping seeds to germinate after a fire occurred.
