Delve into the misconception that artists are right-brained and scientists are left-brained, and discover the numerous commonalities between artistic creation and scientific pursuit. Learn how artistic media is built on scientific foundations, from light-pigment interactions to material properties. Understand the role of experimentation and creativity in both fields, and how scientific discoveries often rely on imagination and innovative problem-solving. Examine the similarities in knowledge transfer between art and science, from apprenticeships to oral traditions. Challenge the notion of art and science as mutually exclusive domains and recognize the importance of embracing creativity in scientific endeavors. Gain insights from Dr. Nicole A. Pfiester, an interdisciplinary scientist with expertise in physics, electrical engineering, and materials science, as she advocates for breaking down stereotypes and encouraging more people to see themselves as potential scientists and engineers.
