A Geneticist's Evolution into a Full-Time Artist
There's still some stigma regarding the relationship and compatibility of art and science, not just as fields, but also as potential career options. Luckily, this siloed narrative has been fading, blurring the lines that separated them, and allowing STEM to evolve into a better catalyst of human passion and advancement: STEAM.
Most scientists who love making art treat it as a hobby and are hesitant how to turn this into a freelance side- or fulltime-gig. In this talk Philipp Dexheimer shares his own path from molecular biology PhD to a science artist: the decisions that actually mattered (and the ones he over-thought), what he'd do differently, and what to expect if you're considering a similar move. Less portfolio showcase, more honest field report. Plenty of room for questions at the end!
