A passion for art must not imply a lack of devotion to the sciences. It is, on the contrary, an asset that should be valued and accepted across both communities. Seeing beauty in one provides a kaleidoscope through which the other may be avidly admired. Being a sciences student herself, Julianna Svishchuk wishes to speak from the perspective of integrating the arts into science-driven careers. Julianna feels that science is a craft that demands humanism above all else – a connection with humanity to better establish the goals that science can help us achieve. Thus, art provides us with a means through which we may expand and develop proficiency in humanism, thereby allowing us to approach scientific questions with creativity, artistry, and innovation. Alongside pursuing a career in the medical sciences, Julianna Svishchuk strives to show that the arts and the sciences should exist alongside one another in science-driven educational and professional environments. Julianna feels that expanding the artistic mind serves as a unique advantage for scientific thinking, and believes that students aiming to succeed in the sciences should be exposed to the importance of both fields, and their interconnection. Julianna passionately seeks inspiration through the means of music, dance, painting, writing and photography, with no doubt that these avocations serve more as an asset, rather than a detriment, to the progress of her academic career.
