The world is full of binaries that some believe to be inherent, despite being human-designed. What can breaking these binaries teach us?
Nemo Martin is a non-binary scriptwriter of award-winning plays and podcasts. They have also worked as a digitiser for the Natural History Museum, recording the museum's vast collections for publication.

Having been initially drawn to the arts, considering it to be more welcoming of queerness, they have since found validity and freedom in the spectrum between art and science, using the boundary-pushing qualities of both to discover more about the other.
