In this episode I am talking to a creative tornado Dr. Beata Mierzwa. This conversation is a reminder that the path is you, and that your life is yours to create. Be wild, connect with your curiosity and connect to your unique gifts and expressions.  Dr. Beata Mierzwa (@beatascienceart) studies how human cells divide and shares the beauty of science through art and fashion. Her postdoctoral research aims to advance the world’s understanding of cell division and improve cancer therapy. Beyond her academic career, Beata creates science-themed drawings and clothes. Her hand-drawn illustrations use metaphor to portray scientific concepts in intuitive ways, while her microscopy fashion celebrates the beauty of the molecular world. She also created a science video game, Microscopya, that invites players to explore the beauty inside our cells. Through her AAAS (read as ‘triple-A-S’ or say ‘American Association for the Advancement of Science’) IF/THEN Ambassadorship for science outreach and her work with Young Women in Bio, she aims to inspire girls and creative students to pursue careers in STEM.  

I hope this conversation showcases the complexity of the scientific endavour and brings to your awarness the current stuggles and challenges we are facing.   If you like what you hear please share, like and subscribe so these stories can reach more people.⁠
