Every accidental is written in, rather than left to a key signature, so the letters can be read one at a time.

What is true of it

F Lydian dominant is F, G, A, B, C, D and E♭, and back to F.

Its steps are W – W – W – H – W – H – W, where W is a whole step and H a half.

On the same tonic, F Lydian differs from it by exactly one note.

Across the first twelve frets of the ukulele its notes fall in 31 places, which is what makes a scale a shape rather than a list.
