Can I abandon my alter ego - We will see

My career as a biologist has always outweighed my belief that I am really an artist. In fact, art has been important through all these many years, but the biological work has always been at the forefront. I am now attempting to allow all that "stuff" that is bottled up inside me to come out into the broad daylight.. Will it work? Time will tell.

Send me your opinions about how to do this. ..... but don't make me cry! ;-)
