always work in their field of studies. In my case, the one-day experience at Melbourne Museum with Dr. Kate Phillips – who has a scientific background in genetic biology – is definitely eye-opening. In that afternoon, a brief research on Anthropocene exhibitions around the world was carried by us as Kate is proposing an Anthropocene-related exhibition to be open in the near future. I have zero background in human science, and always more interested in space rather than complicated human society.…
