Too Creative for Science?

The nature of the questions that society is increasingly asking of the science community crosses boundaries that have rarely been traversed. This requires visualizing information in creative, new ways, pushing scientists ever closer to the domain of the artist. What can the blending of art and science do to creatively approach research questions, encourage a more diverse population of students to pursue science, and improve the public's understanding of science? By allowing a closer relationship between science and art, we can explore new possibilities while humanizing the practice of science at the same time.
