This month, after more than 2 years since I illustrated the 1st card I have finally finished the Massive Science Tarot deck. It has been quite a journey, and I have discovered so many amazing scientists along the way! It’s definitely one of the projects I’m most proud of (on the same level as my books) and I can’t wait to see it printed in June.
On June 30th I will also officially end my appointment as Presidential Scholar in Society and Neuroscience so The World card seems quite appropriate:
The World represents an ending to a cycle of life, a pause in life before the next big cycle beginning with the fool. It is an indicator of a major and inexorable change, of tectonic breadth.
In our Science Tarot The World depicts a futuristic woman crossing a circular wreath of DNA, looking behind her to the past, while her body moves forward to the future. In her hands are scientific tools which she uses to read and modify her own genome. It represents the potential of humans to take control of their own evolution (for good or for worse).
See you all in the future!
