The science backstory.

In my imagination, words and pictures naturally go together, and there is a story behind the artwork on these notecards. Each card has a different illustration of a model organism, and on the back of the card is an explanation of its valuable role in scientific research. The artwork includes:

• Solanum lycopersicum:  The yellow, pumpkin-like fruit are gene-edited tomatoes for urban environments
• Solanum lycopersicum:  Bright red CRISPR tomatoes are edited to form small, tight clusters
• Arabidopsis thaliana:  The tiny, delicate plants are shown in a climate-controlled chamber
• Arabidopsis thaliana:  Another version of the plant with the white flowers enlarged five times!
• Zea mays:  Maize (corn) and the many colors that mobile elements (transposons) create
• Indigenous to Chile and Peru, Physalis peruviana is the scientific name for the groundcherry

Science and art to the rescue!

Too much rain or not enough, fiery hot then furiously cold, our planet is struggling—especially the plants we depend on for food.

Help is underway from Cold Spring Harbor Lab, where plant biologists genetically modify plants to withstand the raging climate.

Meet them in “Decoding Plant Genomes,” my book that explains in words and pictures their research to help our crops adapt to changing environments.
