SCIENCE AND ART: AN INTERDISCIPLINARY CONVERSATION

At their core, science and art are processes used to describe the world around us. Historically, these disciplines were closely linked, but this connection weakened with increasing specialization in science during the past century. However, scientists and artists are reconnecting to explore how these disciplines can inform and enrich each other. I will discuss my own research on a group of enigmatic fish parasites, the Myxozoa, and how I use art to explore and inform my science. This diverse group of parasite are most closely related to free-living Cnidaria, and their adaptation to parasitism leads to some interesting biological questions. But the arts offer another perspective for exploring and communicating about myxozoan structure and function and how these organisms fit into a river ecosystem. In addition to my own work, I’ll talk about collaborations with artist residents and how to encourage interdisciplinary conversations.
