How can communication between fields change the way they are communicated individually?

Multimedia artist Charles ‘Trae’ Mason III and microbiologist and immunologist Alexandra Soare talk with me about the relationship between art and science, and how both fields still have a long way to go in their ability to communicate outside of themselves. We also discuss the necessity of a good mentor, and acknowledge those who changed and expanded the ways they work.

On today's episode, Alex and I talk about her interest in merging the sciences with other fields, the work she’s doing with the Baltimore chapter for the Association for Women in Science, and some of the weirdest things she’s had to carry on the New York City subway.

Music in this episode is by DJ Osagie, a DJ, producer, and community events curator originally from Atlanta GA who uses his knowledge of music to educate listeners and youth on the traditional forms and sounds of African American culture.
