Antarctic Log 2.1

A comic from illustrator Karen Romano Young.

The comic reads: "The Bigelow Lab is my kind of place-not just because it has lots of ocean scientists, but because it has lots of white walls and huge windows that are there to draw on. (Maybe you didn't realize scientists are big on doodling and all kinds of visuals?). 

Stephanie Pearl, an intern who does both science and art, doodled an explanation of how dimethylsulfaniopropionate is expelled as dimethyl sulfide, which hooks up with water vapor and rises to form clouds. There's your global impact: Little changes in Antarctica's plankton community could change DMSP, DMS, clouds, and the planet."
