Today, our host Darius Namdaran is thrilled to introduce Rebecca Kamen, a former professor, visiting scholar, and artist in residence at the University of Pennsylvania. Once seen as "not college material," Rebecca has transformed her narrative into one of immense success, spending over 35 years in sculpture and design, and bridging the worlds of art and science to understand the human mind.
