The Art of Discovery: Merging Science and Creativity

Join us for "The Art of Discovery: Merging Science and Creativity"
featuring Dr. Shahir Rizk and Dr. Maggie Fink.

Authors of The Color of North (Harvard University Press) and Co-Hosts of the Rustbelt Science Podcast

How do scientific breakthroughs emerge from creative thinking? In this engaging and interdisciplinary talk, Dr. Shahir Rizk and Dr. Maggie Fink—scientists, storytellers, and co-authors of The Color of North—explore the dynamic interplay between scientific inquiry and artistic imagination. Drawing from their research, personal journeys, and popular Rustbelt Science podcast, the speakers illuminate how curiosity, creativity, and collaboration fuel discovery in both the lab and the broader world. From protein engineering to poetry, and from rustbelt resilience to northern landscapes, this conversation invites audiences to reimagine science not as a rigid discipline, but as a vibrant, creative process that shapes how we understand and engage with the world around us.
