02The descent

  1. One metre

    One man, drawn in light.

    Every point of light here is part of his story. Descend with him: from the man, to the microbe he hunted, to the network of One Health, to the world, to the generations.

    His face, drawn as a field of points of light.

  2. I / One millionth of a metre

    The microbe.

    Salmonella, traced through the poultry farms of southwestern Nigeria. Field sampling, polymerase chain reaction diagnostics and phylogenetic analysis became a doctorate at Hohenheim, magna cum laude.

    The world.

    Three continents. An ECOWAS Youth Ambassador. A diaspora expert with a German development agency, and consular service in Frankfurt. Evidence travels further when somebody in the room speaks both languages, the laboratory’s and the ministry’s.

    The generations.

    A foundation keeping children in school. An academy teaching children that caring for animals is a form of caring for people. An initiative connecting science to the people who write policy. In the end, the scale he works at is time.
