On today's episode I'm talking to Tatjana about her job as a scientific illustration. It can be hard to choose between art and science so why not just do both? We talk about studying the subject, career prospects, her transition from being a molecular biologist to an illlustrator full time, how this work is similiar and different to that of an artist, and how does a scientific illustration job look like.
It's a really insightful episode for anyone looking into this type of work.
Happy Listening

On today's episode I am interviewing Kate Jonker, an Underwater Photographer based in South Africa. We talk about what it's like to be an underwater photographer, her experience in the field, the best moments of being a photographer and standing out from the crowd. We also talk about how photography can help with conservation and create more awareness about issues relating to the ocean. I guarantee you this episode is a really insightful and interesting one and really valuable for someone thinking about learning ocean photography or making a career out of it. Kate has a really great personality and this episode is worth it.
