Abstract painter Robin Davisson carefully considers the variables when designing her artistic experiments with paint fluidity and viscosity. A resident of Washington D.C., Robin has had plenty of experience with laboratory experiments with over 20 years as a researcher and professor of molecular physiology at Cornell University and University of Iowa. In this episode, Robin reveals the common element for her love of both science and art—“the exhilaration of discovery”—as well as her survival skills for a research career adapted for the arts and the characteristics of a good mentor.
