SciArt Magazine - All Issues | Page 4

Letter from the Editor Hello everyone! From our lead article on the relationship between poetry and science to our dialogue piece on the art of cancer drug discovery, the genetic surveillance of artist Heather Dewey-Hagborg, and the anatomical body paintings of artist Danny Quirk—this October we have a delightfully eclectic issue. With the larger theme of science communication via the creative arts as a common thread among our artist features, we were thrilled to also be able to touch upon the fun side of science in our profile on Fun Exhibits and spotlight on the sciart of ice cream—a fascinating and active field! As SciArt in America continues to grow I never cease to be touched by the increasing interest and enthusiasm for the reconciliation of science and art—evidence that we are truly living in important times. I would like to thank everyone for your continued readership, kind notes, and social media support. If you would like to show your support further, I’m happy to announce you can now become a monthly patron to help us remain a free publication with ease. I hope you enjoy this October’s issue, and take care. Sincerely, Julia Buntaine, Founder & Editor-in-Chief 4 SciArt in America October 2014
