VIBRANT COLORS AND BOLD STATEments are the essence of pop art. I have taken an unconventional path by turning chemical molecules into captivating artworks, and I am excited to share my story and describe my path to scientific pop art. Molecules may seem an unlikely subject for pop art, but they are the hidden heroes of our existence.
