Comics artist Lissu Lehtimaja is interviewed by researcher and non-fiction writer Tero Mielonen. The language of the interview is English or Finnish or both.
Lissu Lehtimaja is a Helsinki-based comic book artist and media teacher. She draws a regular comic column called Tiede kuplissa (Science in Bubbles) in the journal Tieteessä tapahtuu. Tiede kuplissa also appears on Instagram. Her albums include Freiren kyydissä (2006), Levinasin kasvot (2008) and Muodonmuutoksia (2019).
Senior scientist Tero Mielonen's fields of expertise are atmospheric modeling, remote sensing of aerosols and biomass burning and biogenic aerosols. In addition to his research, he has written books on science for the general public. The comic book Ozone Diary (2019, original in Finnish 2016, illustrated by Pentti Otsamo) describes the everyday life of a researcher working abroad. The children's book Maailman tutkijat (2021, illustrated by Mari Ahokoivu) presents different disciplines and how anyone can become a researcher. The non-fiction book Tiedettä valkokankaalla (2024), written with Tuukka Hämäläinen, goes through how science and researchers have been depicted in films.
