How a chemist and an artist are learning from each other
Artist Anna Dumitriu has worked with biotechnologists for well over a decade – she has extracted DNA from samples more times than she can remember – but she had not worked with a chemist until she met Robert Neely from the University of Birmingham, UK. They were introduced by colleagues of Neely’s then and met over Skype, going on to apply for a Leverhulme Artist in Residence Award.
