Flowering education (Utopia)

On this table is an experimental map using Arabidopsis, a small flowering plant widely used as a model organism in plant biology. The map illustrates correlation between regional birth rates and levels of education amongst women and men in Portugal. Population density relates to the number of seeds in each petri dish, while the amount of growth hormones corresponds to the percentage with higher degrees. Birth rates are expressed through flowering. Over time, this blossoming plot will showcase a scenario where the rate of women with higher education is recurrently higher than men.
