Three years into my postdoc (博士后),l started to wonder whether l needed a new career plan.After applying for more than two dozen teaching jobs, l hadn't landed a single interview.
I had once considered going to art school but had put that idea to the side when l decided to pursue chemistry as an undergraduate.in the years that followed, kept up my interest in art by taking painting classes at night. My family was bursting with mathematicians, computer programmers,and engineers, so it felt natural to have my daily life center around science.
But in the spring after my failed job search, that started to change after a friend excitedly showed me proofs of a review article.She was astonished by what the journal's scientific ilustrator had done with her fundamental sketches (速写).“That would be such a fun job.”l thought.
I decided to test out a new career direction by volunteering to create similar illustrations for my institute's newsletters.spent my nights and weekends reading scientific papers and thinking about how to illustrate the results. It was a fun task.l felt l was perhaps on the right path. But could l make a full-time career work?
Searching online,tracked down people who had that kind of job.l found many had training through scientific illustration master's degree programs.After living on graduate student and postdoctoral salaries for years, l didn't have enough money saved up for the programs, so decided to get a certificate in digital design.
I now work as a visual designer at a biomedical research institute where  spend my days working with research to communicate their work visually.I love the fact that l get to combine my scientific and artistic sides.
