Taylor is a geoscientist who loves a good metaphor, especially when that metaphor sparks a new scientific perspective. But do rhetoric devices, art, and visualization have a place amongst the sciences? Taylor is a Masters and Bachelors student currently studying Marine Geoscience, History and Greek Philology at the University of Kiel, and is interested in where the worlds of art and science collide. Originally from Southern California, Taylor has spent the past 5 years in Germany studying and teaching English.
