Flora-L Design creates print patterns from images of plants under the microscope. The three scientists behind the startup, Delphine, Melissa and podcast hostess Judith got to know each other as postdocs in Umeå, Sweden more than 10 years ago. They bonded over their love to plants, microscopy and textiles and founded Flora-L Design in 2019. In this podcast episode the three plant-biologists share - what their first contacts with plants were like as kids - from where their desire to study plants grew - what brought them to appreciate microscopy - how they see the process of making patterns from microscopy images - how they connect with plants in their everyday life - what they recommend as summer activities around plants
