Welcome to The Artful Biologist! I’m Lynn Heller, a scientist, artist, and writer passionate about making science accessible and engaging. With a background in environmental research and policy, I use this space to bridge the gap between science, art, and decision-making.

Through articles, illustrations, and reflections, I explore topics like climate change, ecology, and conservation, often highlighting the intersection of science and policy. From land use to clean air and water regulations, I dive into how scientific research informs environmental policies and what that means for communities, ecosystems, and the future of our planet.

You’ll also find some of my artwork here—watercolor, acrylic and other mediums inspired by nature and science. I believe that art and science are two powerful tools for storytelling, and I love using both to communicate complex ideas in a way that resonates with a broad audience.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope The Artful Biologist sparks curiosity, conversation, and a deeper appreciation for the connections between science, policy, and the natural world.
