Hi, I'm Jolie…
Science deserves a story.
I'm curating The Distressed Scientists' Department, an experiment in how modern science and research is experienced. I draw inspiration from the World's Fairs, IBM x Eames x Bauhaus, and the Renaissance, and aspire to see the modern equivalent take shape. So far, this has taken the form of a researcher-creative art exhibitions, photobooks, and of course, writing, with much more to look forward to.
I've supported research communication at Renaissance Philanthropy, Schmidt Sciences, Until Labs, and more. I've been invited to curate for spaces like the Chase Center and have written for publications like Asterisk Magazine and Core Memory.

I focused on neuroscience at MIT and bioinformatics/politics at the University of Toronto, while:
🇺🇸 directing operations and technical writing for Simulacra, a synthetic data platform;
🇺🇸 advising early-stage biotech teams like Until Labs and PyraSim;
🇨🇦🇲🇾 researching health economics and epidemiology at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health;
🇨🇦 writing health policy and modelling risk for Health Canada/Canadian Food Inspection Agency
My calling is in the craft. I grew two content platforms and still collaborate with creative teams from time to time, including a documentary circulated by the Malaysian NIH. I'm an avid collector of magazines and books, which construct my visual reference library.
I'm about to visit my 55th country (track my travels) and host dine clubs around the world. I was born near Vancouver, grew up in Calgary, live in San Francisco, and hold special places in my heart for Toronto, Boston, New York, Malaysia, and Singapore.
