NOVA’s “Secret Life” was something that automatically resonated with me as a life science educator and an artist for two reasons, first of all the idea of a “secret life” really explores the idea of a polymath.

The second reason was the program’s staff spent hours interviewing me to reveal and visualize just a snippet of a story. This is very much like creating art and doing science, hours, days, years, a lifetime are often spent absorbing, connecting, and relating to something before you ever produce a skill, an idea, or something of meaning. It verifies that process is fundamental to deep knowledge and it was fun to do!
