Learnings on Design
Design is more than aesthetics, the studies of how the mind reacts to art, like music, poetry, paintings, ect.) Design is about creating solutions for problem with are discovered by empathy. Elements of good design are:Storytelling, which guides the user through the experience and keeps them engaged.Function, what the design allows to doAccessibility and inclusion, we are not designing only for ourself but for others, so we need to keep their needs in mind.Research on problems and creating de...

System Thinking
Do you see events, e.g. that you feel happy, relaxed and motivated today? Or do you see all parts, like that you went skiing yesterday, early to be and are excited to fly to EthDenver tomorrow? System thinking methods make it possible for you to see how these parts or events are interconnected via feedback loops that result in your daily mood. Understanding a system, and its feedback loops, allow you to tackle the root problems. There are several methodologies you can apply to enhance your sy...

Diversity in Ecosystems
In natural ecosystems, biodiversity is an important factor, contributing to ecosystem stability and resilience. Diversity can be divided into genetic diversity, the variations of genes found in one species. Species diversity, the number of different species in one ecosystem and above species-level diversity e.g. the variance of primary producers, primary and secondary consumers. Like biodiversity, ecology can be divided into subfields. From organismal Ecology, looking at the individual organi...

Following a path
Today, I decided to follow the “Ecology: Ecosystem Dynamics and Conservation” course on Coursera instead of continuing my free research on the internet. While free research is fun and provides the opportunity to dive into various different research fields, it lacks focus. The course starts with an example of the Gorongosa National Park in Mozambique, in which wildlife has nearly been driven to extinction as a consequence of the civil war. The civil war started after 1975 Mozambique, when gain...
