I Illustrate Interesting Scientific Facts In An Understandable Way (12 Pics)
I recently finished my master's degree in biotechnology at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences, and throughout my studies, I have found it incredibly useful to illustrate my coursework in fun ways. It makes it so much easier to understand and remember!
Some of my drawings were printed as posters and hung on the walls of the master student study rooms at NMBU. Now I've also fulfilled the dream of sharing my drawings with a wider audience by launching my website and sharing the first twelve posts with you, pandas! I hope you enjoy them (and maybe learn something).
More to come on the website below and even more on the Patreon page.

Egg Size
Kiwi Evolution
Evolution doesn’t always result in outcomes that are “fair” or optimal. Evolution doesn’t actually “care” to make any species the best that they can be. As long as you survive, and your offspring survives, you pretty much have to deal with the crap you are given. As for the kiwi, this evolutionary result may be uncomfortable, but it allows them to hatch chicks that are able to leave the nest really quckly.
Antioxidants
Scorpions
Radiotrophic Fungi
Bacillus Cereus
Microorganisms In Food

Antibiotic Resistance
Antibiotic resistance is an increasing problem that we all must do our part to stave off. You must of course use antibiotics whenever it’s necessary, but at the same time, you should work with your doctor to limit the use of antibiotics, and use them correctly whenever they are prescribed. Also, remember that you never need antibiotics to fight viruses! That never works, ever!
Toxoplasma Gondii
But in general women who have long lived with a cat have already been exposed and are immune to this parasite before having children. This needs to be said because most women still think they have to get rid of their cat when they get pregnant.
I don’t think ‘most women’ get rid of cats when they are pregnant. Some ignorant ones may, but most don’t.

Bacteriophages
Three new FancyFacts were added to Patreon.com/fancyfacts yesterday, one public and two exclusive! More to come :)
Thank you so much :D that is my goal, to share what I learn in a way that is enjoyable to look at, so comments like that make me super happy ^^

Thank you, i really love you pandas, you are so nice :D Yes, I sketch with pencils first and color them in with Faber Castell colored pencils :) I concidered making them more "cartoon-ish", but I decided I prefer them "raw" like this :)
