In 2020 Lynne Quarmby published her book Watermelon Snow, which combines a log of her expedition to Svalbard, a collection of stories of her environmental activism in B.C., and a series of thoughts from the perspective of a microbiologist and climate scientist on coming to terms with the world she’s leaving behind for her son and the world. It’s real and heart-wrenching and difficult and important.
To mark the release of the book, she needed a refresh of her website and branding. I had previously done both in 2011. The new site was significantly pared down to just a page for her book and a page for her lab at SFU. The branding was also simplified and changed to match her new focus; the lab previously studied cilia on Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (green algae), and has since shifted to red algae.
