hi, I’m Jess! I’m a master’s student in Biology at the Freie Universität Berlin. I write about science, culture, and art. I’m interested in:
representation of nature across scales through painting and microscopy
biology, ideology, pop culture, and politics
literary & speculative fiction, film, and visual culture

see the gallery for my microscopic images and mixed-media sketches.
see resources for artworks, books, and papers of interest.

previously, I studied neuronal metabolism as a postgraduate associate at Yale University,
founded SciCHAI (a science + arts journal club at the Wu Tsai Institute),
and spent some time teaching science to kids. (CV)

current projects/collaborations include:
abstract short microscopic film
zine on the digital camera and the biological eye
lots of image processing

reach out anytime to chat or collaborate!
