In this episode we speak with Dr Jennifer Willet, the Director of INCUBATOR art lab and an internationally recognised artist and curator in the emerging field of BioArt.

During our conversation, we learn what are the key ingredients to build an art and science laboratory, we delve in some bigger topics such as the Covid pandemic and how that relates with climate change and we also discuss the importance of interdisciplinary practices in depolarising knowledge and politics.

SCIHAUS is not only a podcast, it’s also the first e-learning and community platform for researchers and science students that focuses on teaching creative tools for science communication. Find out more about our courses and what we are all about at www.scihaus.com

In this episode we speak with Bella Spencer, public engagement officer at King's College London, where she’s responsible for encouraging and enabling early-career researchers to undertake activities that engage public groups with their research.

On this episode, we speak with Aoife Van Linden Tol, a London based artist, working with explosives fusing her interests in nature, cosmology, chemistry and physics. Aoife creates abstract works which often examine concepts of time, density and matter as well as deep human emotions and motivations.

Aoife’s told us about the European Space Agency, her tips on how to create effective Science and Art collaborations, and why there’s probably no point in discussing the differences between art and science.

Welcome to SCIHAUS Soundbites!

Together with our guests - scientists, artists and public engagement professionals - we are going to explore the intersection between art and science from science communication in academia to public engagement and interdisciplinary collaboration.

In some of our episodes, you will hear practical tips from our SCIHAUS School facilitators that will help you develop your creative skills to communicate your research.

In others, you will discover inspiring art-science experiments, and find out best practices to collaborate across disciplines, either through lab residencies or contemporary art commissions.
