My Spanish education has challenged me to closely explore language, helping me realize that science is also a language—one that healthcare professionals have the unique responsibility of translating for people with varying levels of scientific knowledge. My humanities education has invited literary strategies and fictional characters into my understanding of biological systems. In this way, communicating scientific concepts becomes a form of storytelling.
