And well, let's Huda explain it further.

My name is Huda Usman, and I recently graduated from Carnegie Mellon in chemical engineering, and I just got my PhD in September, and I am developing high throughput nanoculture systems to measure microbial interactions and their response to environmental perturbations.

A creative process kind of for me begins with asking a lot of questions, and they are usually curiosity driven, and that just builds up a lot of thoughts in my head.

So I guess the way I dispose of them and get them out of my brain, one way I do is I sketch out my system.

As soon as I got my desk, I put up a huge whiteboard, and I just like to sketch out.

I always start with a drawing of my system just to know, get the sense of what we are trying to achieve as a long-term goal.

Like, I feel like I'm distracted when I open my notes app.
