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!
