New posting! This is the latest instalment in the #MySciMoment series, in which #BIPOC/#BAME scientists talk not about their research, but about what inspired them to pursue a #career in #STEM.

Here, Ko-Fan Chen 陳克帆 (@kofanchen) discusses the accidental path that led from art to design to #Drosophila. Can you spot the pattern in the example he includes? (I couldn't).

If you'd like to contribute to this series, send me a message😃

I would really like to do a 2nd iteration (& regular series) of this posting concept👇.

I'm looking for #BIPOC/#BAME scientists to share their stories not of what they do, but of what inspired them to follow a career in #STEM. Maybe a teacher? A friend of the family? A TV programme?

Message me/reply if interested. #MySciMoment
