Should sci-artists reduce the price of their rare art works and degrade themselves and their work?

She also guides other science communicators, scientists, journalists, writers, artists, and media people in efficiently communicating this complex subject.
Using art and literature to communicate science attracted a large number of people, even illiterates, to the subject to a great extent. Moreover, it enhanced the cultural heritage of the world as new themes of science illuminated the art world and the literature field, and science got useful aids to propagate. She handled work in various fields with ease and integrated several of them, enriching each one in the process. Millions of people are getting benefited by her education and science literacy programmes, and the world got enriched culturally and socially through this process.

Exploring this relationship between art, literature and science is a beautiful experience of a fulfilled life!

The words love, lust and other emotions: The makeup to biochemistry to make it look beautiful
Recently one person asked me this Q: You say you are drunk on science. This is a bit unusual for a woman. Why is science so important to you? What is the difference between science and other fields…
Science should dominate science-art, not art!

Q: Without learning anything how could you paint pictures? How can we paint pictures?
Krishna: I think most children would paint something in their schools. They learn the basics when they are children.
After this initial training, if you want to pursue art, you can go for more advanced courses.
If you don't want to go after art, I think that basic knowledge is enough.
Then for a scientist, it is not necessary to paint pictures extraordinarily. My main aim is…

Another story: Difference between an artist and a scientist
Posted on November 1, 2016 at 9:00am 1 Comment 1 Like
People say there is no difference in thinking between artists and scientists. But recently I read an interesting story that confirms the different thinking ways between a scientist and an artist ... It is about Einstein and his wife who was a poet...
Frau Einstein was Albert Einstein’s wife. She was a poet, and Albert Einstein was perhaps one of the greatest scientific thinker of all the ages. Naturally Frau Einstein wanted her husband to know…

Just now I read a Picasso Quote. It goes like this: The genius of Einstein leads to Hiroshimas.
What a misconception! And most of the time artists who cannot understand the importance of science and how it works say such silly things.
Einstein himself didn't approve Hiroshima and criticized it severely (1).
In 1905 Einstein had published his revolutionary equation showing that matter and energy were equivalent and interconvertible. There was much speculation by…

Hello Dr Krishna (Madame)- thanks for the welcome. I don't even remember how I reached your writing - probably through reading some of your answers on Quora - but it is my pleasure to be acquainted with a person like you with multiple facets to her personality reflecting in myriad areas of interest woven around the core of Science - a fascinating range if I may say. Do keep in touch - I write books across genres - including researched Science Fiction novels of Interplanetary Travel and Adventure - and personally very interested in the evolution of the Human Genome, where it came from and what it will evolve to as time takes us on ....
My email is demoninlove@yahoo.com and my amazon page is https://www.amazon.com/Deepak-Menon/e/B00AB973PU/
Keep in touch and all the best
Deepak Menon
PS - You can simply call me Deepak - "Sir" is a bit disconcerting ....
