daVinci Art Science Roundtable –

Neuroradiology: The Brain, Mind, and Leonardo DaVinci

daVinci Art Science Roundtable

The daVinci art science roundtables are a facilitated monthly series of exploratory discussions for artists and scientists to talk about the culture of their two fields and how they might collaborate more meaningfully. Ultimately, the discussions also explore how collaborations intersect with public understanding of science. The roundtables began with the basic assumptions that discussion between the artists and scientists had the potential to create new knowledge and ideas that would be of interest to the participants and eventually to the public as well. Join us for a stimulating talk by Dr. Suresh Mukherji on Neuroradiology, the Brain, Mind, and Leonardo daVinci. The event is free on Friday, October 13, 2023 from 1pm to 2pm EST.

Beyond What the Eye Can See: Deep Sky, Star Trails, Moons, and Galaxies

Show #248

Talking about star trail shooting. Using modern cameras to shoot beyond what the eye can see including the Orion Nebula and Andromeda Galaxy and how anyone with a small telescope can get great pics of the moon with any camera. We will also explore an upcoming event that will connect poets and amateur astronomers to explore the deep skies through images and poems.

Seeing Through the Lens of a Pencil: How Archaeologists Use the Art of Sketching to Better Visualize and Understand What They See

The Conversation

Show # 247 Talking about how drawing engages different parts of the brain and allows the archaeologist to highlight specific aspects of the excavation that are important to the interpretive process. Archaeologists, at times create simple sketches to record spatial relationships of stratigraphic layers, features, and artifacts, or to share ideas with one another as we develop our interpretation of past events. At times, he opts to create a scientific drawing, or map, that includes scale in order to visualize and understand what he is seeing.

Guests

Dr. Alex Elvis Badillo, Archaeologist and Assistant Professor in the Department of Earth and Environmental Systems at Indiana State University; Dr. Jordan Rogers, Visiting Assistant Professor of Classics, Carleton College; Mary-Evelyn Farrior, Ph.D. candidate, Columbia University, Dr. Allison Emmerson, Director of the Pompeii I.14 Project, Tulane University.

Phosphogeddon: Short-Term Solutions Often Turn Out to Have Long-Term Costs

The Conversation

Show # 246 Talking about how the world’s Phosphorus problem resembles the carbon dioxide, plastics, and groundwater problems. The potential benefits of managing nutrients are staggering. How do we meet the needs of the growing human populations in terms of food production while steering away from the brink of what can be called phosphogeddon?

Guests

A Smart Predator: White Sharks in the North Atlantic

Show #245

Talking about North Atlantic White Sharks, the largest predatory shark, and until recently, rare in the western North Atlantic. This predator is crucial in maintaining a healthy marine ecosystem, and after decades of declines, appears to be in a state of recovery. At the top of the food chain, white sharks help to control populations of species such as the growing aggregations of grey seals found in this region. The resurgence of white sharks in the western North Atlantic is likely due to conservation efforts such as those being led by Dr. Burns. We will have a conversation about Tom’s interest in photography and research, the perfect blend of art and science.

Guests

Dr. Tom Burns, Creator and Project Leader, Cape Cod White Shark Predation Study; Photographer
