From Painters to Potters, Scientists Stage an Online Art Show

On January 24, University of British Columbia geneticist Dave Ng tweeted, "It's always interesting to me how kids react when they find out I'm a scientist who also does artistic things (like they can't co-exist or something). Would love to start a thread where other scientists share their artistic tendencies. #scienceartmix." Ng posted some of his own visual art and writing, and invited others to chime in. Musicians, painters, dancers and more eagerly joined the dataset. Aquatic ecologist and toxicologist Jennifer Archambault shared a cowl she knitted with a fish scale pattern.
