Visual Science Communication connects science with design – from one infographic to a whole project identity. Bridging both worlds is my strength. Let’s make your research visible.

Most scientific figures aim to be clear.
But what if they also aimed to be compelling?
I love clean, well-structured data visuals — often, they’re exactly what’s needed.
But when data is about people — shouldn’t we also show them? #DataVisualization #SciComm @humboldteolab.bsky.social

Outreach can feel overwhelming: too short = oversimplified, too long = confusing, visuals = time sink, social media = full-time job. But with a solid plan & support, it gets easier, more fun—and less time-consuming. Curious? Let’s talk. #scicomm #sciart #infographics

This is what a conceptual figure should look like: accurate yet visually inviting. This way I understand what they did, was motivated to read the article and will look out for the next publication. thanks for sharing 💚 #scicomm
🌳 Tropical forests struggle to keep up with climate change
Tree species in the American tropics are not adapting fast enough to match shifting climate conditions.
This mismatch may make forests more vulnerable in the future

Tropical forests in the Americas are changing too slowly to track climate change
Understanding the capacity of forests to adapt to climate change is of pivotal importance for conservation science, yet this is still widely unknown. This knowledge gap is particularly acute in high-b...

Things aren’t fine. A day on the water: beavers build, kingfishers hunt. Idyllic? Yet, environmental issues are treated as “nice-to-have.”
🔥 Fear alone won’t spark change - it leads to paralysis.
📈 Visualisation matters. Let’s get clearer, braver, better.

Fakten reichen nicht, um Probleme zu lösen. Ein Beispiel: die Klimakrise. Das Wissen ist da, doch das Verstehen fehlt oft – es wirkt zu komplex. Genau hier setzt gutes #Informationsdesign an: Es hilft, Wissen in Verstehen zu verwandeln – und damit wirksame Kommunikation zu ermöglichen.
