    Great infographic. The information was very detailed and easy to follow. I appreciate how it encourages individuals to become scientists by highlighting that exploring the unknown its already part of the scientific process. It was fascinating to learn that statistics scientists are able to recognize weather patterns or predict outcomes in seasonal changes. To make it even more engaging, shortening the information or increase the font size could help capture more attention.

    I enjoyed reading your piece! I am in love with the graphic design, it’s very natural and it looks organic (if that even makes sense). You did a great job explaining complex topics clearly and concisely. I especially appreciate how you highlighted the importance of sustainability and conservation, overall great work!

    We live in a human centered world rather than life centered. So, it’s amazing how you bring this issue. The Unites States and the EPA should work together to keep passing legislation like enforcing the Paris Climate Agreement. The format of the pictures is so unique and emphasizes the images. Lastly the comment “Everyone is a scientist” really brings the world together so they believe in themselves and think they can be agents of change rather than simple stardust who couldn’t make change.

  • Hello! I like how this infographic uses a nature-inspired theme with earthy tones, enhancing its connection to the topic of environmental science. Visual elements like animals and plants make it engaging, while the sections are divided for readability. The inclusion of percentages and icons highlights key information, making it visually appealing and informative for audiences interested in bioinformatics and nature which is perfect when getting people’s interest.
