A Brief Guide To Successful Art-Science Collaboration

Anu Desai is a senior at the College of William and Mary, majoring in Biology with a minor in Marine Science. They enjoy working at the intersection of art and science and plan on incorporating scientific illustration more heavily into a prospective research career.

Artist Statement:
