Boryana and I are happy to announce that our 13th Bio-Art Mixer is this Friday Nov 12 at 6pm in the Lundgren Room, 1st Floor Life and Sciences Building!
We have two exceptional speakers Anna Lindemann (https://annalindemann.com) from University of Connecticut and Biology’s own Alum, Kelly Schmid from Cornell University. Anna’s work combines Art and Biology where she uses digital and stop-motion animation, live and electronic music, video, and performance to explore the field of Evolutionary and Developmental Biology. Kelly Schmid is also interested in Evolutionary and Developmental Biology and is incorporating unique teaching strategies to bring her work to broader audiences.
We are attempting this to be a Hybrid event, our FIRST Hybrid Bio-Art mixer!
One of the good things about presenting to diverse audiences through zoom is that they can be recorded and shared! Boryana Rossa and my lecture on Bio Art and our mixer series is up on Baltimore Underground Science Space (BUGSS) website. If you want to hear how Biology can meet art, check it out here: Biology Meets Art.
Nikhila, Abrar, and I all enjoyed the EMBO workshop in Copenhagen! We are also thankful that the organizers put so much effort into the Hybrid format, where Deba (Hehnly lab Postdoc) was able to actively participate and attend while staying in Syracuse. Nikhila and Abbi both presented posters and gave a joint presentation in Science Slam too, titled “The different roles a centrosome can play” (included photos below). I (Heidi) also gave a lecture titled “Centrosome positioning during lumen formation in the zebrafish Kupffer’s Vesicle”. We enjoying meeting everyone over the amazing coffee, snacks and meals, and are so thankful to the organizers for making this happen. We finished off the meeting with an awesome meal at Ark, a Michelin rated Vegetarian restaurant and then an afternoon at the most beautiful amusement park, Tivoli! Included are some photos below.
