International climate research project posts on science film I made
Always wanted to know how to prepare a leaf for analysis under a microscope, to be able to collect data for climate reconstruction? No? Sure you do!
I made an in depth university student level educational video – which is also enjoyable to watch if you are just curious about what happens in a university lab. To see the movements behind the knowledge, so to speak.
Watch the video here:
I was happy to hear that a science communicator took it upon herself to publish a blog post about the video. Based on my interview with Astrid Odé, MSc and preparations with Dr. Hugo de Boer, she wrote up the method featured in the film, so it also exists as a ‘recipe’. May many a beautiful microscopic image be realised based on these tutorials!
This lab protocol is part of a large international research project called LEMONTREE. The video was filmed at Utrecht University.
