New scientific animations
PFAS 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 adolescence period (from the onset of puberty until the mid 20’ies) is the most formative periode of life – and the brain is shaped by what it is being used for. In this animation, I try to explain how this is taking place. Scientific references in the end of the film.
WHY DO WE NEED TO SLEEP? There are many good answers to this question, but one of them is – we need brain wash! This is taken care of by the GLYMPHATIC system, an amazing system that – during sleep (especially deep sleep) – helps the brain to get rid of cellular waste, that could […]
I am currently working on an animation about air pollution for Aarhus University. In that project, I have modelled the alveoli, which is the place for exchange of gases (oxygen, carbondioxide) between the exterior and the blood. Unoxygenized blood arrives from the heart, pass by the capillary network surrounding the alvoli sacs (the wall of […]
I have made a short, animated explainer about the Omicron variant and how if diverges from the Delta (and other) variants of SARS-CoV-2. Watch it here. The data for the World map is from GISAID (www.gisaid.org), whereas all other information is from the research papers listed at the end as references.
This animated data-visualization shows the shift from delta (blue) to omicron (red) variant of concern of coronavirus in the EU / EØS countries of Europe. The incidence in the different countries are shown as height. All data are from European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/news-events/weekly-epidemiological-update-omicron-variant-concern-voc-week-2-data-13-january-2022). https://youtu.be/hr8TZO48GQ0
I have made an animation, that compares the COVID-19 numbers (infected, hospitalized, tested) in Denmark week by week in 2020 and 2021. The image below shows the situation in week 52 in the two years compared. Follow the link to see the full animation in my LinkedIn post: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/ann-louise-bergstr%C3%B6m-4862bb3_covid19-datavisualisation-animation-activity-6884492825996668928-uKrF
Another 3D visualization showing the development of COVID-19 in different age groups in the five Nordic countries (Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Iceland) in the period from week 1 to week 46. The bars shows the number of COVID-19 positive per 100.000 in the age groups. Data source: Data source: European Centre for Disease Prevention […]
Another animated 3D-graph over the COVID-19 incidence (confirmed cases per 100.000) in differet age groups in Denmark, week 1 to week 46 in 2021. Also including rates of hospitalization for the different age groups (also per 100.000 in age groups). Data source: Statens Seruminsitut, ssi.dk https://youtu.be/lZiIKWgR_QY
This animation / visualization is a simpler and faster version of the longer animation below. Find info about how it is made and sources in the previous post.
