How Jazz and Physics have Shaped my Life
My life has often felt like a tug-of-war between my love for science and the arts. Unwilling to choose between them, I decided to pursue parallel careers in science and jazz singing. I look forward to sharing what I've learned from this juggling act, including how I apply seemingly opposite principles like scientific rigor and jazz improvisation to many aspects of life. I'll illustrate this using musical examples.
