Have you heard the term SciArt before? In this episode, we explore what it is and the benefits of combining art and science as a research and communication tool.Our Co-host for this episode is Elli Wright, Public Engagement Manager at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine. Elli told us ‘...effective science communication can really connect people and communities with research. Science communicators and public engagement professionals want to reduce the elitism built into society with regards to who is allowed to access scientific knowledge. Science belongs to all of us which is why effective science communication is so important. There are many ways that science can be communicated to the diverse public audience, including through art.'Natasha Niethamer shared with us, ‘the more we engage others about public health concerns that require global efforts to fight, the more likely we are to inspire community action, driving interest in policy makers and funders. Directly inspiring even one teacher, parent, young person, or community member may indirectly inspire a large network of their own. You may inspire the next major activist of our generation!'Listen on to find out more about how a playful approach can bring new insights to your work.This episode features:Dr Elli Wright - Public Engagement Manager, Liverpool School of Tropical MedicineElli has been working in the science communication and public engagement sector at Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine for nearly 8 years. She is currently studying an MSc. in science communication at the University of the West of England, which has given her a stronger understanding of the theories behind science communication practices. Her research explores the use of autoethnography as a tool to the co-creation of the Tropical Medicine Time Machine by artists Tom Hyatt and Natasha Neithamer (also featured in this episode).

What happens when we integrate multi-media art with space, science, and technology? Neuroscientist Jancy McPhee is the founder and executive director of SciArt Exchange, an organization providing science and art fusion programs and celebrations of creative innovations.    Jancy McPhee works as a Multidisciplinary Program Scientist in the NASA Human Research Program's Chief Scientist's Office and works with Aerospace Human Exploration and Space Flight scientific research with STEM/STEAM education programs. “Space exploration has made an evolution to make sure that the human could survive…For short missions, and when we are sticking our toes in the waters of the universe, that was really what was needed. Now, when we’re talking about being gone for 1, 2, 3 years, now we’re talking about not just surviving, but thriving. That’s where there’s more room for the exchange between science and art. It’s really about being human in space. Human beings need to do more than just breathe their air.’” -Jancy McPhee on Casual Space Podcast About Jancy:  Jancy McPhee wasn’t quite sure what she wanted to be when she grew up. She loved science and exploring, but all her hobbies were related to music and theater and reading about how other humans think, feel, create and move. Hoping to combine her interests, she became a neuroscientist, a person who examines the science behind these human capabilities. Formally, Dr. McPhee has a B.A. in Neurobiology and Behavior from Cornell University and a Ph.D. in Biophysics from Brandeis University. She was a cellular and molecular neuroscience researcher in academia for 17 years before joining the National Space Biomedical Research Association and later the Universities Space Research Association to manage various aspects of NASA’s domestic and international space life sciences research programs. Since 2010, she has been implementing motivating and novel ways to enhance space education and science and technology innovation and to promote global collaboration in human space exploration. She created the international Humans in Space Art Program and has been working to establish SciArt Exchange.   About SciArt Exchange:  SciArt Exchange is a 501(c)(3) non-profit formed to continue and expand the international Humans in Space Art Program and to develop new science-and-art fusion programs. SciArt Exchange focuses on issues related to space, science, and technology and aim to provide an interdisciplinary framework for more effective dialogue, education, and innovation. https://www.sciartex.net/

On this week's The Sci-Files, your hosts Chelsie and Danny interview Qian Bates. Qian is a first-year student at MSU studying mechanical engineering. She recently did a project that analyzed the reasons behind the materials used to make paintbrushes. Oil brushes are made of natural fibers like hog or sable hair while acrylic brushes are all synthetically made from nylon or polyester and watercolor can be made of either but rarely both natural and synthetic. Qian, being an avid painter as well, took notice of these differences and decided to figure out why they were present. She used a scanning electron microscope to take pictures of the bristles from very close up in order to study the texture and size of the individual hairs to see if that affected how they behaved with certain paints. After taking pictures of the brushes, she used them to paint for a couple of weeks and took notes as to how each brush performed with different mediums. As she painted it became increasingly apparent that the synthetic (acrylic and watercolor) and natural hair (oil) brushes were not interchangeable. When the synthetic brushes were used for oil paint, Qian found that, after a couple of hours of use, the bristles would start to drop from the brush and be deposited on the page or canvas with the paint. The same thing happened with the natural oil brush when used for acrylic paint. She found that this came down to the chemicals in the paint and solvents and how they interact with the materials the bristles are made of. With watercolor paint, the story was a bit different. Qian found that the topography of the bristles, the texture, and the diameter of the bristles greatly affected how smoothly the paint was applied and how much control she had while painting.If you're interested in talking about your MSU research on the radio or nominating a student, please email Chelsie and Danny at scifiles@impact89fm.org.

Yana Zorina, Ph.D. is a neuroscientist with a lifelong passion for the arts.  In her scientific career, Yana has always been attracted to microscopy as a means to take a closer look at the beautiful structures that compose the mammalian brain.  In her microscopy-inspired artwork, she uses her neuroscientist training to accurately recreate scientific images into 3D-beaded renderings of cellular structures to bring the beauty of scientific research to a wider audience.  In viewing beads as analogs of pixels observed on a screen, Yana turns microscopy on its head by transforming ultra-thin optical sections into 3D structures.  Beyond being passionate about the breathtaking beauty of microscopy images, Yana uses them to serve a greater purpose of communicating science to a wider audience and initiating conversations on difficult topics, such as neurological conditions. Full shownotes: http://yourcreativepush.com/367 In this episode, Yana discusses: -How she got into both art and neuroscience. -Her realization that she needed to bring art back into her life after many years of pursuing neuroscience and raising a family. -Finding alone time both in art and science. -Some of the resistances she faced of turning her art into a business. -Having to be creative in terms of putting out content on social media when her projects take her several months to complete. -Letting go of the fear of not being 100% scientifically accurate in her art. -The Beholder’s Share. -How art can be a bridge to communicate what is going on within the scientific community to those outside of it. -Finding connection in the SciArt community. -How she schedules her day and how she chooses which idea to move forward with. Yana's Final Push will inspire you to go for your ideas no matter how “out there” they may seem!   Quotes: “I’d rather be dealing with test tubes than with people.” “I became a wife, a mother, a scientist, and I had the sense that the true me was somehow missing.” “I’m not ready to give up the pipette.” “I enjoy the process of making my art.  It is meditative and it is meticulous work that allows me to escape from daily life.” “No matter how crazy you think your idea is, no matter how crazy it may seem at first, just go for it.” Connect with Yana: Website / Etsy / Instagram / Patreon / Twitter Join the discussion in the Facebook group!

In this episode, Anna Laurent is my guest talking about her work at the intersection of science and art, researching botanical art through history and photographing seeds. She is passionate about'understanding plants from the plant's perspective and plants from people's perspective'Anna is an award-winning flora-focused writer, photographer, and artist. She traveled the world, researching the visual history of plant depiction, as well as collecting specimens for 'Dispersal', a series of photographs, portraits, exploring the form and function of seed dispersal.In our conversation, we delve deeper into the world of seeds and Anna's creative journey, exploring them through photography.'The reason for a flower is the fruit and the seed. A flower has evolved its form and its scent, its colours to attract pollinators, to produce a seed. And the seeds are really the future of the plant. The seeds are the whole purpose of a plant.'Her work has exhibited internationally, at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew in London, the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard university and the University of California Botanical Gardens at Berkeley, as well as gardens in Amsterdam, Italy, Gibraltar, Sydney, and New York city. In 2018, the Royal Botanic gardens Kew commissioned a series of seed portraits to be permanently displayed alongside living plants in the Temperate House, the largest Victorian glasshouse in the world.Her first book, Botanical Art from the Golden Age of Scientific Discovery (University of Chicago Press, 2016) examines the art and science of plant biology in 19th century wall charts. We also talk in this podcast episode more in detail about this book she wrote and the role botanical art plays in history, as well as Anna's current research and next book.Anna was born in Boston, in the USA, and studied at Harvard University. She holds a Master's degree  in History and Philosophy of science from the University College of London. Currently, she lives in London and was awarded a UK visa as an Artist of Exceptional Talent.I first came across Anna's work in 2017 at the Chelsea Flower Show where her seed photographs were exhibited and caught my attention. Later that year, we met at her solo exhibition in London. Then in 2018, both her work and mine were featured in the same issue of INKQ, an independent publication at the intersection of art and science by a mutual friend of ours, Jessica Shepherd.We recorded this podcast episode in December, 2019, since then a lot has happened in the world, but more significantly earlier this year, back in March, When I approached Anna with my idea to set up Dialogues with Nature Network, she agreed and became one of the Founding Members . It's been wonderful to work together over the past couple of months, setting up this creative support network centred around nature.I hope you will enjoy listening to this podcast episode we recorded!—Links from this episode:Follow @anna__laurent on instagramwww.annalaurent.comhttps://harvardmagazine.com/2014/01/the-sorcery-of-seedpodshttps://www.kew.org/read-and-watch/secrets-kew-temperate-househttps://www.seedcultures.com/#/anna-laurent/—About Dialogues with Nature Network here.—If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe,leave a review or share it with a friend.You can find me as @walkinglantern on instagram and on twitter.And if you are interested to hear more about Dialogues with Nature Network, please follow the new instagram account @dialogueswithnature here and sign up to the mailing list here.—Ways you can financially support this podcast now:One time donation of a virtual cup of coffee hereBecome a regular patron supporting me with a recurring donation of £1 per month via Patreon here—The music for the podcast is by Band of Burns ‘Now Westlin' Winds’ song that was recorded live at Union Chapel in 2017.

A scientist and an artist are trapped in an elevator. Can they learn to understand each other? JANCY McPHEE, Founder and Exec. Director of the SciArt Exchange joins us to explore the vastly different ways scientists and non-scientists think about the world, and to look for ways to find common ground... even if it is fifty floors up in the air! * * * Visit the SciArt Exchange at SciArtEx.net for more about all their amazing programs! * * * JANCY McPHEE wasn't quite sure what she wanted to be when she grew up. She loved science and exploring, but all her hobbies were related to music and theater and reading about how other humans think, feel, create and move. Hoping to combine her interests, she became a neuroscientist, a person who examines the science behind these human capabilities. Formally, Dr. McPhee has a B.A. in Neurobiology and Behavior from Cornell University and a Ph.D. in Biophysics from Brandeis University. She was a cellular and molecular neuroscience researcher in academia for 17 years before joining the National Space Biomedical Research Association and later the Universities Space Research Association to manage various aspects of NASA's domestic and international space life sciences research programs. Since 2010, she has been implementing motivating and novel ways to enhance space education and science and technology innovation and to promote global collaboration in human space exploration. She created the international Humans in Space Art Program and has been working to establish SciArt Exchange. Based on the success of the initial Youth Art Competition, Dr. McPhee created the multi-project, international Humans in Space Art Program to encourage people of all ages (youth, young adult, and professionals), cultures, and backgrounds to think about and creatively communicate their visions of the future of human space exploration through visual, literary, musical, and video art. So far, the Program has engaged 1000's of artists as participants, and 100,000's have viewed multi-media artwork displays and performances online, locally on Earth, and in space. Dr. McPhee has received two awards for her creation of the Humans in Space Art Program, The NASA Johnson Space Center Director's Innovation Award (2011) and the STEAMSpace Education Permission to Dream Award (2017). She believes the recognition truly belongs to everyone who has participated and supported the Program. In addition, SciArt Exchange received the 2017 TMT (Technology, Media, Telecoms) Entertainment Award for Best Science Engagement Initiative  - USA, the 2017 UK Corporate Excellence Award for Best International Science & Art Education Initiative, the 2018 AI ((Acquisition International) Award for Best Scientific Education Development & Promotion Initiative – USA and the 2018 CV Magazine UK Best in Business Awards - Leading Authority on Science & Art Collaborations.  In order to expand the Humans in Space Art Program and initiate other global science-integrated- with- art activities, Dr. McPhee established the nonprofit SciArt Exchange. The nonprofit aims to inspire the world about space, science, and technology and promote public understanding about and contribution to science and technology issues. Nonprofit activities include contests, events, consulting and instructing on topics such as science communication, creativity, and teamwork. Dr. McPhee envisions a world where each individual is trained to use their whole brain and to work respectfully and collaboratively with many different kinds of people to solve the greatest global science and technology challenges. SciArt Exchange and its partners worldwide hope to help realize this vision. --- Like the show?

Trieste - 12.7.2019 - Trieste Contemporanea Radio Arendt: Capturing Arendtian resonances in 2019. Barcelona (Hangar.org), Sarajevo (HUB387), and Trieste (Trieste Contemporanea) host the "Radio Arendt: Capturing arendtian resonances in 2019" workshop. Led by Nicole Dewandre and Roberto Paci Dalò, it focuses on Hannah Arendt, radio and sound, in view of collecting voices of participants questioning, challenging, and receiving what she left to future generations in 2019. Hannah Arendt is known as a major philosopher and political scientist of the XXth century. She provides the intellectual tools we need today to understand the crisis of the political realm, and –possibly- to step out of it. As she wrote, “there are no dangerous thoughts, thinking itself is dangerous”, but… abstaining from thinking is even more dangerous, as it opens to the banality of evil and an active alienation from our human condition. In the workshop, Nicole Dewandre introduces the life and work of Hannah Arendt, how we can think with her about what happens to us in 2019 and why it is so important for the EU in these critical times. Then the participants work with Roberto Paci Dalò in a practical way, recording and editing voices and sounds that become the materials for the final live radio performance to be streamed on Usmaradio. This part deals with tools and technologies which allow everybody to enter into the “radio universe” and give life to HA. Indeed, the workshop is part of the project "HA", the creation of an interactive sound-video installation commissioned by the Resonances III Festival and produced by the Joint Research Centre – European Commission and #SciArt. Some of the materials collected during the workshop will be part of HA which will presented in October 2019 at JRC in Ispra (Italy) and subsequently in December 2019 in Bruxelles (Belgium).

I had my master degree in plastic arts specialty engraving in Tunisia. Then I took training in 3D production and special effects and I worked as a 3D artist and graphic designer of video games. Currently, I continue my research at the University of Arts in Strasbourg. I question the representation of invisible violence in art. My artistic practice is varied, I create paintings, engravings and photography and videos. In video I use self-filming as a primordial technique, which materializes the introspection and the moment's confrontation with oneself. Originally from a Maghreb patriarchal society where the most entrenched religion is Islam, from a very young age I witnessed of injustices and intolerable aggression vis-à-vis the female condition. This scourge of violence against women is so serious that every second woman is a victim of aggression. Sadly, it is almost legitimate and moral to abuse women. Faced with this reality, I can not be passive. I want to highlight in my works all the feelings of anger, shame, indignation that may be felt victims of abject abuse and violence.

Dmitry Gelfand (b.1974, St. Petersburg, Russia) and Evelina Domnitch (b. 1972, Minsk, Belarus) create sensory immersion environments that merge physics, chemistry and computer science with uncanny philosophical practices. Current findings, particularly regarding wave phenomena, are employed by the artists to investigate questions of perception and perpetuity. Such investigations are salient because the scientific picture of the world, which serves as the basis for contemporary thought, still cannot encompass the unrecordable workings of consciousness. Having dismissed the use of recording and fixative media, Domnitch and Gelfand's installations exist as ever-transforming phenomena offered for observation. Because these rarely seen phenomena take place directly in front of the observer without being intermediated, they often serve to vastly extend the observer's sensory envelope. The immediacy of this experience allows the observer to transcend the illusory distinction between scientific discovery and perceptual expansion. via http://www.portablepalace.com

This fortnight I am joined by botanical artist Elaine Moore-Mackey who has been one of the organisers for this year's Bloom in the Park which is open until June 16th 2018. My interview with Elaine is at about 13 minutes into the recording if you want to fast forward. The episode begins with my trip to Scotland as I travel up north in search of Blue Meconopsis flowers for my latest project 'Blue Flower'. I start speaking at about 4 minutes in. The sounds are of my journey up to Perthshire and from the places I visited including Cluny House and Gardens, the Royal Botanical Gardens Edinburgh and the Explorer's Garden as well as some more time spent in the bluebell woods. As always, there is a little sound snippet right at the end

Today I am joined by botanical artist Billy Showell who has just been elected as the new President of the Society of Botanical Artists (SBA). We talk about Billy's painting, the SBA's upcoming exhibitions and what to expect at the Art Workers Guild in London for Botanical Art Worldwide Day. The market recordings at the start and end were recorded by me last weekend when I was at the Columbia Road Flower Market in East London continuing my search for Blue flowers. IMAGE: Billy Showell 'Queen of night' © On show at 'Tulipa' in the Real Jardín Botánico de Madrid until May 20th n.b.
