The science backstory.

In my imagination, words and pictures naturally go together. That’s why my work combines words and pictures to tell stories.

Each notecard features a different model organism used in scientific research, with an illustration on the front and an explanation of why it’s important to science on the back. 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 Laboratory, 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.
