Art and Science. In their finest expressions, they are one and the same. We face complex problems and no single approach can provide all the answers. One cannot be a socially responsible designer or scientist without using both intuition and research. This presentation will cite historical and contemporary examples of individuals who support their simultaneous use to achieve creativity. The presentation will include a discussion of the definitions of art and science and the nature of the human mind.
As a part of our 25th anniversary celebration, we are offering this webinar with the 2017 Changemaker Award winner,
Dr. Shepley, free of charge.
