A few testimonies:
“Caitlin sought my biologist’s perspective and input on her BFA thesis project at the Cleveland Institute of Art. That she would seek the counsel of someone so distant – both geographically, and intellectually – immediately speaks to her mind’s openness and her courage to embrace new ideas. As we interacted through email and computer screens, I was routinely impressed by Caitlin’s artistic intuition and execution, and how those intentions merged so effortlessly with ‘getting it right.'” - Douglas R. Warrick, PhD Professor, Department of Integrative Biology, Oregon State University
"It is a joy working with Caitlin. She is very engaged in our on-going projects and delivers impactful input on multiple proposals. Her ability to turn our innovative science/techniques to address complex problems associated with opioid use disorders into innovative and highly-detailed visualizations is remarkable. I continue to recommend Caitlin to colleagues at universities, foundations and companies. Caitlin is the very best of the best." - Stephen J. Lewis, PhD Professor of Pediatrics and Pharmacology, Case Western Medical School
