Nate Hawks is a scientific illustrator and zoo exhibit designer. In this episode, we discuss animal-related career options that fall outside of the typical science-related choices (biologist, zoo keeper, vet, etc.). Nate tells us how he successfully combined his love for creative art with his love for animals to pursue a career that allows him to do both. Nate not only helps design exhibits but is also responsible for creating info-graphic displays in front of exhibits. If you are someone who wants to pursue an animal-related career but doesn't know where to start, this is an episode for you!
