Hey, artists, in case you were wondering, I am a scientist working on protein design and I would not be where I am today without William Butler Yeats, Mary Oliver, Pablo Neruda, Claude Debussy, Tracy Chapman, Judy Collins, the Indigo Girls, the Marx brothers, and many more.
I’m a scientist working on dark matter and neutron stars and I wouldn’t be who I am today without Langston Hughes, Duke Ellington, Haile Germima, Toni Morrison, Jane Austen, A.A. Milne, Errol Morris, Star Trek, Herman Melville, Lorna Simpson, Edward Lear, Tina Turner, and so many others.
