Can art and science work together to help humanity tackle some of its overwhelming problems, such as climate change? Join Lily Pinchbeck, an intern multimedia reporter for American Scientist, for a podcast based on a talk by Jennifer Landin, an associate professor at North Carolina State University in the Department of Biological Sciences.
Landin is interested in the importance of art and visuals to communicate scientific ideas, and especially in using art as a tool for environmental education. In this podcast, Landin explores how art can be the right “tool” to stimulate emotion in a way that science is less suited to do. In doing so, Landin argues that art may be crucial for changing our behavior in the face of climate change. (See live tweets below for highlights from the talk.)
