PFOA visualization
Posted onPFAS compounds (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are, sadly, everywhere. Even in the blood of polar bear. Here is a short animated visualization showing the chemical structure of one of the really bad PFAS-compounds, namely PFOA (Perfluorooctanoic acid).The chemical bond between the carbon groups and the fluor groups is very strong and the reason for both the wanted (hydrophobic and lipophilic) and unwanted (very difficult to break down leading to bioaccumulation) effects of the PFOA-compounds.

Keeping up my drawing skills
Posted onI always carry my sketching book and pencils when I travel, just in case I have time and opportunity to sit down and draw somewhere. Because I love it – and also to practise my drawing skills. I have just visited beautiful Lugano in the italian-speaking canton Ticino of Switzerland. There, I drawed this piazza and also some old trees down by the Lugano-lake.
New datavisualizations
Posted onI think it is really fun to work with datavisualization – to show large data amounts in a simple, visual way. Recently, I have made an update of my “global warming” datavisualization – now it ends in 2023. Data from National Centers for Environmental Information.
I have also played with name statistics. Below is a “racing chart” animation that shows the top 20 of names given to newborn girls in Denmark in the period 1985 to 2023. It shows absolute numbers. Data is from Danmarks Statistik and the music is from Bensound.
