Biocreative Index

Join the Index

In a world where disciplines are siloed, we are too often told that you can only be one or the other. A scientist or an artist. An engineer or a designer. But what if we could be both? The Biocreative Index shows that it’s possible.

I created the Biocreative Index as a community and directory of people working at the intersection of biology and a creative discipline. Inspired by website directories like People of Craft and the Cyberfeminism Index which I often use myself, this index serves as a resource for both the biotech and creative communities to find talent and collaborators, while highlighting the importance of intersectional work. It brings attention to the strong and brilliant collective of interdisciplinary creatives who are behind many of the leading STEM startups and organizations in the world — the people working across disciplines to imagine the future.

The Biocreative Index features over 300 trailblazers (and counting): biologists who have become creative directors, designers who design using biological materials, artists who predicted the future of biotech decades before it was possible, science PhDs turned into authors, community organizers training up the next generation of STEM, NOMA chefs who play with microbes at the fermentation level, to name a few. It also features over 100 resources spanning educational programs, published articles and blogs, and events at the intersection of art and science. And we're just getting started.
