    In the health care industry, medical illustration is called a promising path into medicine.

    So what is medical illustration? Simply put, it’s a blend of science and art.

    It is communicating what doctors and medical professionals, science professionals do.
    "You see the bullet go into the body; you see the lung and the heart or whatever. That all had to be animated by a medical illustrator.”

    Today, many people prefer to photograph and be photographed rather than to look at art. In some galleries, the human viewer is fighting a lonely and losing battle with the hordes of smartphones, tablets and selfies that besiege the most celebrated exhibits. And there is a complaint that people are no longer looking at art in the way they should be doing and understanding it and getting the message of the artists.
    The world’s great galleries divide on whether to allow photography. The Louvre and the New York Metropolitan allow it. The Uffizi and the Prado do not – and nor does the Sistine Chapel. To protect vulnerable art, many try to draw the line at flash photography, not always successfully. But it would in fact be simpler and better for both the pictures and the public if no photography was allowed at all. Looking at the art may be an old-fashioned priority, but it ought to be the essential one, all the same.
    People are blaming the technology for the change. Should we change this trend of selfies?
    Take no photographs in art galleries
    Galleries should be for looking at the art not for having your picture taken in front of it! This is the message artists want to convey now!

    Art, Science & Philosophy Behind Photos of Oldest Living Things
    Though Sussman identifies as an artist, she's also had to earn her scientific bonafides along the way. As she explained, "There isn't an area in the sciences that deals specifically with longevity across species, because that would be too broad." So Sussman has become the expert through scholarly research, conversations with scientists, a great deal of detective work and determination. Ultimately, Sussman's work has not only given ordinary people a way to understand ideas around deep time, but it's also been a portal for connecting scientists, providing them with a platform to consider the intersections between their various specialties.

    Sussman has exhibited widely in solo and group shows at venues including the Berlin Botanical Museum.

    “If you have a memory slip in the middle of a music performance, you can usually just put down the pedal and improvise your way out of it before most people realize anything happened. Unfortunately, there isn't an equivalent to ‘pedaling-through’ for a physics talk.”
    So says a piano musician (Russian-born Igor Lovchinsky) turned Physicist!
    He also says: Serious training in music taught me skills that I can't imagine acquiring elsewhere. For example, every professional musician frequently finds himself in a situation in which he has to learn a new piece, or prepare for a performance on short notice and has to practice 10-plus hours per day. Concentrating for that long, with no recourse to Facebook or YouTube, does not come naturally to people, but doing this for many years taught me to shut off all distractions and focus on my work. In addition to work ethic, learning to play an instrument on a serious level trains your memory, coordination, and abstract reasoning—all useful skills that can be applied elsewhere.

    Astronaut Tweets science, art from space
    Reid Wiseman is one of six Expedition 40 astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS). The photos and short videos he shares are a science, and often geography, lesson in 140 characters.

    Monday morning Wiseman tweeted an image of “airglow,” faint bands of light enveloping Earth. There have been many images of airglow taken from the ISS but most show only the brightest yellowish-green band. Wiseman’s tweet beautifully shows the chemical changes going in layers of the upper atmosphere, each produces a different wavelength of light.

    The reddish-orange band in the photos is the thinnest part of the atmosphere, 150 - 300 km up. Here oxygen and nitrogen atoms along with molecules of hydrogen and oxygen recombine each night after being broken down by solar radiation throughout the day. Energy released during that recombination produces a faint red glow.

    Art in Science Competiton

    The µTAS 2014 Conference is featuring an art in science competition titled Under the Looking Glass: Art from the World of Small Science Deadline 25th October 2014 Since the earliest publications of the scientific world, the aesthetic value of scientific illustrations and images has been critical to many researchers. The illustrations and diagrams of earlier scientists such as Galileo and Da Vinci have become iconic symbols of science and the scientific thought process. In current scientific literature, many scientists consider the selection of a publication as a “cover article” in a prestigious journal to be very complimentary. Are you attending the µTAS 2014 Conference? Would you like your image to be featured on the cover of Lab on a Chip? Would you like to win a financial reward? To draw attention to the aesthetic value in scientific illustration while still conveying scientific merit, NIST and Lab on a Chip are sponsoring this annual award. Applications are encouraged from authors in attendance of the µTAS Conference and the winner will be selected by a panel of senior scientists in the field of µTAS. Applications must show a photograph, micrograph or other accurate representation of a system that would be of interest to the µTAS community and be represented in the final manuscript or presentation given at the Conference. They must also contain a brief caption that describes the illustration’s content and its scientific merit. The winner will be selected on the basis of aesthetic eye appeal, artistic allure and scientific merit. In addition to having the image featured on the cover of Lab on a Chip, the winner will also receive a financial award at the Conference. Art Award Submission Process – Easy 3 Step Process Step 1. Sign-In to the Electronic Form Using Your Abstract/Manuscript Number Step 2. Fill in Remaining Information on Electronic Submission Form Step 3.

    A thoughtful, critical look at the ways in which artists have used computers and other logical systems to make art, Automatic Art explores the ways in which artists work with algorithms – from the simple to the incredibly complex. Under the broad tag of ‘systems art’, the artists exhibited here, much like scientists, define a set of initial conditions for their art. A palette of colours, rules that dictate how they or a computer apply them, and actions that are taken in response to the mid-stage outputs dictate what will emerge. One might think that the results of such procedural art-making might end up rather dull, repetitive or perhaps looking like an iTunes music visualisation. But despite the prescribed origins of the work displayed in Automatic Art, the work is energetic, vibrant and engaging.

    The Science and Arts Festival in Malta
    The science and art festival will take place on Friday 26 September from 6pm onwards until midnight. The main part of the activities will be spread along Republic Street – from City Entrance to St George’s Square – and at other centrally located venues.
    The exciting festival programme, organised by the University of Malta, the Research Trust of the University of Malta (RIDT) and the Malta Chamber of Scientists together with a consortium of consultants, beneficiaries and participants, was presented today (3 September) to the media at Valletta Campus.

    “A wide range of formats are being organised – both indoor and outdoor activities, from exhibitions and art installations, to shows, theatre, debates, hands-on experiments, and interactive activities that encourage creative science communication and opportunities for fun and learning,” said Professor Alex Felice, Project Coordinator. “Through a collective effort, we want to give exposure to research activities, the researchers and how their work is affecting our lives.”
    Highlights:
    The new formats planned this year include an exceptional theatrical piece played by The Royal Shakespeare Company veteran Tim Hardy in The Trials of Galileo, and presented by Icarus Theatre Collective. After a successful tour of the US, a sold out run at the Brighton Fringe Festival and Yvonne Arnaud Theatre, and just recently at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, The Trials of Galileo will be performed at The Palace Courtyard with the support of the British Council (Malta).

    Another item of interest in the same place is a 2014 theatrical piece entitled L’Uomo che pesò il mondo by Nuove Cosmogonie Teatro. This is part of a new series of acts themed on il fisico in teatro that unite accurate historical and scientific research to a more playful theatrical language.

    Musical training tunes the developing brain, scientists report in the Sept. 3 Journal of Neuroscience. After two years in a music enrichment program, children in Los Angeles had more sophisticated brain responses to spoken syllables than kids who had only a year of training.

    Researchers led by neuroscientist Nina Kraus of Northwestern University studied 44 children enrolled with the Harmony Project, an organization that brings music training to kids in low-income communities. The children began music lessons when they were on average 8 years old. After two years of lessons, but not one, kids’ brains showed distinct responses to the rapidly spoken sounds “ba” and “ga.”

    Urban Arts Space exhibit to expose the art in science
    “Art in the Shadows,” which debuts this weekend at the Urban Arts Space, is a photographic exhibit by a Wexner Medical Center resident pathologist, Amy Joehlin-Price, who has turned microscopic lab samples of biopsies and surgical tissue into large-scale images.
    The process of turning lab results into art was simply taking a photo. Joehlin-Price used a trinocular microscope, a digital camera and a camera adapter. She focused the camera, adjusted the light and took a photograph. She moved the slide around to take various photos.
    This exhibit will be on display at the Urban Arts Space, located at 50 W. Town St., until Oct. 4

    Stem Cells Star in Marriage of Art and Science
    Janet Dreyer earned a doctorate in molecular biology, but in her 50s enrolled at the Pasadena College of Art and Design and became hooked on art. After a hiatus from both science and art for travel, she’s back to art, creating a work that combines her training in both fields, “The Stem Cell Scientist.”

    Dreyer’s computer generated work came to life at the request of Laguna Beach glass and multi-media artist Leslie Davis, who organized “The Art of Stem Cells.” The show features conceptual works by 29 artists. Their themes address debilitating diseases and injuries and the work of scientists trying to find cures. The month-long exhibition opens Saturday, Sept. 6, at the Orange County Center for Contemporary Art in Santa Ana.
    The exhibition’s opening and closing receptions will not only showcase what results when artists interact with 23 scientists, but also introduce art patrons to researchers and examples of their state-of-the art stem cell pursuits.
    Orange County Center for Contemporary Art, 117 N. Sycamore St., Santa Ana. 714-667-1517. Hours: Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday, noon-5 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, noon-9 p.m.

    Colliding Worlds: How Cutting-Edge Science is Redefining Contemporary Art
    There is a quiet revolution going on in the world of art, a new avant garde pushing the boundaries further than ever before. These are artists who work together with scientists to make extraordinary creations that may well change the world as we know it. From designer butterflies to plastic surgery as performance theatre, from rabbits that glow in the dark to seeing sound and sculpting data - in his talk Professor Miller, Professor Emeritus of History and Philosophy of Science, University College London, will introduce this brave new world.

    What are some of the many sorts of art that spring from the interplay between art and science? How did this interaction begin and where is it going in the 21st century? How are concepts such as art and aesthetics being redefined? Are there similarities between the creative processes of artists and scientists and if so, what? These are some of the questions Professor Miller will explore while looking into the exciting new art movement which he calls artsci.

    Science, art at play in 'Expedition to the End of the World'
    In Daniel Dencik's agreeably meditative, beautifully shot documentary "Expedition to the End of the World," a three-masted schooner carries a cadre of scientists and artists to a mostly ice-encrusted region of northeast Greenland that, because of global warming, is now passable for a few weeks each year.
    The mostly uncharted area and its exploratory bounty provoke this eccentric, witty and chummy group — experts in archaeology, marine biology, geology and the visual arts — to philosophize on evolution and humankind's impact. They fish, take samples, wander, draw, record and speculate on what that polar bear in the distance is up to.

    Climate scientists and artists engaged in chronicling new phenomenon for the purpose of affecting change seem to have a natural affinity for one another’s work. Yet rarely does one come across an artist as attune to the scientific community as Diane Burko. This is evidenced in her ongoing series of paintings exploring the depths of environmental change in the Polar Regions.

    At the same time, the scientific community has embraced her visual panoramas as an effective means of communicating scientific evidence to a broader public and potentially affecting policy change. Burko notes, “Scientists tell me that my images help to communicate what statistics and charts prove. They see paintings and photography as a way to reach the general public and educate them.”

    A molecular physics experience through movement at Stanford

    Stanford collaborators fuse cutting-edge art with research-grade science.
    dS, short for danceroom Spectroscopy, is the world's first large-scale, interactive molecular physics experience, and it was created by scholar, scientist and artist David Glowacki, a Royal Society research fellow at the University of Bristol, presently in residence at Stanford.

    Glowacki is exhibiting an interactive installation based on his dS project at the Stanford Art Gallery this month. He is also collaborating with artist Camille Utterback, an assistant professor of art and art history, and composer and sound engineer Michael St. Clair, a lecturer in the Department of Theater and Performance Studies, to extend the system for a dance production at the Cowell Theater in San Francisco in this month.
    Molecules in motion

    The dS technology works by using a set of 3-D imaging cameras that communicate with a custom-built high-performance computer to interpret people as energy fields. The computer embeds people's fields in an atomic physics simulation, with the net result that they can use their fields to steer the simulation. The result is graphics and sound, both of which are generated in real-time response to human movement.

    The sonic component of dS is carried out using analysis techniques that are common to the field of molecular spectroscopy. The computer performs real-time analysis of how the simulated atoms vibrate; as participants move, they change the atomic vibrations and generate different sounds. However, for the Cowell production, St. Clair is not generating sound per se; rather, he is using the particle data to remix his musical source material, warping it in pitch, time and tempo.

    A research scientist and a 3D artist and illustrator are pairing up to create jewelry designs that build upon their fascination with science and are helping them to invest in making science education more widely accessible. Idoya Lahortiga, the scientist and self-professed jill-of-all-trades, and designer Luk Cox, formerly a research scientist himself, have launched a jewelry line through Somersault18:24 with the idea that, “beautiful, smart, engaging, and sexy is not an impossible combination.”

    This pair brings two PhDs in biomedical science and a creative vision that just won’t quit, to the creation of pendants and earrings in the images of phylogenetic trees, neurons, and pi among other designs. All of the jewelry is 3D printed in silver through Shapeways and the profits go to fund a platform that provides visuals to aid in science education.
