@kayabbott Hi Kay. I enjoyed reading your interview and like you, I am a scientist and an artist. After graduating with a biology degree, I worked at the University of Chicago in neuroscience research and I left that to go to art school and got a fine art degree. I find that understanding anatomy in 3 dimensions helps with understanding medical issues. I had anatomy studies in art school as well as in my science undergraduate education. When I explain physical issues, I try to paint a picture with words. I enjoy Connect and I often share medical literature. It’s nice to meet a kindred spirit.

Nice to meet you. Human anatomy and physiology was one of my favorite classes, partly because a fellow student would get irked when I got a better grade than her. Visualizing in 3D is handy. Part of my research involved building multidimensional computer models (x, y, z, time, and multiple interrelated variables).

I am new and my cancer questions that are in front of me from others...I have three birth defects and just read, "If you were radiated as a child it interferes with cancer.
