Both science and art are intensely creative, experimental and exploratory callings. Although the practices artist and scientists may be radically different, both groups seek deeper truths about the world we inhabit.

I view art as an invaluable tool for science communication. Scientists often struggle to convey their ideas to the general public, in part because they rely on the same style of communication that they would use with other scientists. Such jargon-laden arguments based on facts, statistics and logic are poor emissaries for the ideas encompassed by science. Art has the ability to engage on a visceral level, opening the door to a more meaningful dialog between science and society.
