I hope that you are all doing well and have had a great semester thus far! After some careful consideration and introspection, I present to you my new and improved column: <em>The Indian Artist, Revamped<\/em> with Riya Aggarwal! This column will maintain the same framework as my old column, stayed rooted in my culture and heritage. However, this time, I am expanding beyond just my Hindu culture. I wanted to integrate my passion for art with the other fields of study that I am interested in. As some of you may know, I am currently pursuing a career in medicine, majoring in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology with a double minor in Art &amp; Design and Sociology of Health &amp; Medicine on the pre-med track. Perhaps even more than my art, this is an large part of my life. I spend most of my time involved in STEM coursework, biomedical engineering research, and working at the U of M Hospital. As I get closer and closer to my medical school journey, I wanted to include more of myself, outside of just my culture, into my posts.<\/p>\n<p>My posts last semester started feeling a bit uninspired so I wanted to &#8220;revamp&#8221; my column. I hope to open up discussion even further into the worlds of medicine, ethics, and culture with an emphasis on art, design, and innovation. I officially invite you all to <em>The Indian Artist, Revamped<\/em>! I am truly so excited to share even more of my passions with you all. This column has been an incredible opportunity for me throughout the past two years and I look forward to the next two!<\/p>\n<p>I will be posting weekly on Mondays evenings this year.
