Where Science Meets Art: Sparking Curiosity Through Creativity

Science communication is one of the most important parts of science—but it’s often overlooked and can feel intimidating. Art offers a way back to science’s roots, where creative expression was used to share complex ideas in ways anyone could understand. This talk explores how blending art, design, and interactivity can bring science to life in fresh and exciting ways. From digital media to immersive experiences, we’ll look at how creative approaches can break down barriers, spark curiosity, and invite everyone to connect with science in new and meaningful ways.
