Cat Lau
I am a former behavioural neuroscientist (in training) who realized that my calling was at the intersection of art, science and community engagement. Since switching gears, I have been visually communicating science in accessible ways for different audiences.
Along with researchers and scientists, I have collaborated alongside people with lived experiences, youth, family/carers, and community organizations to create resources and support initiatives to mobilize their knowledge and expertise.
I am also a strong advocate for art and science collaborations and evaluated a pilot science-art residency, which was published (open access) in Frontiers in Education.
When I am not creating, you can find me exploring nature (via bicycle, hikes, camping), singing and playing music, or cuddling cats.
