Science and the Arts

In June 2022, a group of scientists, singers, song-writers, and artivists got together to create something extraordinary. Drought and Flood is an hour-long virtual concert that transcends international and interdisciplinary bounds to answer the question of how the ebbs and flows of water shape the way we view our world. View the concert here. Produced in collaboration with the Water Affinity Group and supported by generous funding from AAAS STPF. 

Award-winning artist Ana Dimitrieu chatted with the STEAM team about how to use art to tell stories about science. Check out her webinar (recorded on October 30th 2021) here

Best-selling author Sonora Reyes walks the STEAM Team through the steps involved in publishing their debut novel, The Lesbiana's Guide to Catholic School. If you've ever been interested in learning about the convoluted road to novel publication,  this is the place to start!
