Julia Rose Lewis has been a Serendipian since 2008. Her research ambition is to draw on her background in the natural sciences, philosophy of science, and medicine in order to create experimental and hybrid works. She has written or performed with poets, scientists, and chefs in Belgium, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Her doctoral disseritonation in creative and critical writing was titled Against Originality: what is lost without discourse between poetry and philosophy of science? Serendip has continued to be an important place for her to inquire into open-ended problems, the broader and more transdisciplinary, the better. She teaches creative and critical writing. She is part of Serendip Communications and will be a Serendipian for life.
