研究的好夥伴

Agricultural research and its partners 

在生長箱的一隅,田野中的一角,有植物欣欣生長、研究人員仔細探察。除此之外,也少不了技術人員與高端儀器的輔助。人與植物、知識與技術,彼此的互相陪伴,成就了一幅美好的農業科技風情畫。

植物分子生物學中最重要的小白花-阿拉伯芥, 數位

 

分子生物學中最重要的小白花

The model plant, Arabidopsis

阿拉伯芥的實體很小,不會大於手掌,但對於科學研究貢獻的力道卻無比巨大。這幅創作裡面將植物放大為主角,原本擁有主導權的研究人員則縮小似螞蟻,進行著觀察染色體、收集種子與人工授粉的任務。

早田文藏與他的台灣杉, 數位.

 

早田文藏,撞到月亮的樹

早田文藏是日治時代的分類學家,也是台灣杉的命名者。台灣杉因為可以長到非常高大,在魯凱族語中又被稱做 “撞到月亮的樹"。因為早田的研究,台灣杉是世界上唯一以台灣為屬名的植物。

早田文藏在東京求學,博士論文的主題則是研究台灣植物的分類,在當年世界對台灣植物一無所知的時候,他的潛心研究讓大眾得以了解台灣這個生物大寶庫,也為他自己爭取到了學術地位。研究之路是辛苦而孤獨的,踏實每一步或許就能在登高之後找到屬於自己的榮耀。

The Secret Behind the Disk

This is an illustration inspired by a scientific article which studied how young sunflower plants track the sun. The movement of floral disk is due to uneven growth of the stem. I try to use a personified way to show the function of two key elements, light reception and cell elongation, in this mechanism. I think it could bring more fun to this topic and make it more accessible to general public.

When "Like" is a Weapon

Fake news could be a bomb, when we click “like” without thinking, we are breaking down our society. Everyone should be an agent in the new information warfare. In this illustration, I transform a bomber into a mouse, and use clouds as a metaphor for the internet. The red tone in the background also represents the warfare feeling.
