hi, I’m Jess! I’m a master’s student at the Freie Universität Berlin studying ecology and molecular/cell biology. I work on science education & communication, art-science connections, and interdisciplinary research.
In my free time, I write about:
→ the cultural life of biology
→ nature perception & representation
→ our nonhuman neighbours
see the gallery for my microscopic images and mixed-media sketches.
see resources for artworks, books, and papers of interest.
previously, I did neuronal metabolism research at Yale University,
organized SciCHAI (a science + arts journal club at the Wu Tsai Institute),
and taught science to kids.
(CV)
current projects include:
→ urban rats – research & communication project @ FU Berlin
→ neuron microscopy – short film
→ digital camera and the biological eye – zine
reach out anytime to chat or collaborate – I’m always open to talk about shared interests online/over coffee, or to discuss communication, research, and art opportunities!
