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 Todays episode we are talking about cell diversity. All living things or organisms are organised into basic units known as cells. When cells work together, they form tissues and when tissues work together, they make our organs. Our organs then, work together to make organ systems and that makes up us an organism. 

In this episode we will talk about:

• cells
• Tissues
• Tissue culture
• Micropropagation
• Skin Grafts
• Cancer treatment
• Organs 
• Organ systems 
• Organisms

The cell is the basic unit of life. The cell itself is made up of parts called organelles. Animal and plant cells may have different parts. This episode also talks about the microscope, what types there are, what the parts of the microscope are themselves. 

This episode talks about the parts of the cell in detail too as well as how you can see cells in a microscope from your cheek to plant cells from an onion.
