Infographic, Arabidopsis Life Cycles

I love the challenge of creating visual representations of information and concepts that clarifies, connects, and helps viewers ask deeper questions. This infographic is a visual representation of Arabidopsis life cycles in controlled conditions (lab grown) and in the wild, for both winter annuals and spring annuals.
