Astrocyte Staining with DAPI (blue), 6E10 (green), and BIII-tubulin (red)

I have stained cells.

As a science major who is also an usher for performing arts events on campus, I am often asked why on earth I decided to become a volunteer usher in the arts.

Just because I’m a science major, doesn’t mean that I don’t appreciate other things. Without getting into the details. let me just say that I have spent most of life connected to the arts in some way, shape, or form.

But who says that science and art can’t mix? Because I am fully convinced that they do.
