Pure Beauty: Science and Your Inner Artist
Can art help the public to better understand science? How concerned should scientists be about public outreach? How can scientists nurture their inner artist? Should they? Join us November 13 to discover the pure beauty of science. Two UBC microbiologists — Patrick Keeling and Erick James — discuss how they translate their science into art by producing giant microbe statues and jewellery with binary messages. The duo is joined by historian Robert Brain, an expert in the intersection of science, society and culture, and UBC Science student Paul Bucci, who combines his passion for art with his interest in computer science.
