The link between science and art may not be obvious to some. But for three Northwestern University scientists, the connection between the two is innate.
Beginning this weekend, professors Aaron Packman and Daniel E. Horton and molecular biosciences Ph.D. candidate Luis Schachner will explore this connection at different exhibits around Chicago.
Packman and Horton were among 14 artists and scientists brought together as a part of an art exhibition opening at the Brushwood Center at Ryerson Woods, “Third Coast Disrupted: Artists + Scientists on Climate.” The exhibition culminates a yearlong conversation between scientists and artists that centered on impacts and solutions to climate change in the Chicago region.

A curiously yellow pre-supernova star has caused astrophysicists to re-evaluate what is possible at the deaths of our Universe’s most massive stars.
The team describe the peculiar star and its resulting supernova in a new study published today in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
At the end of their lives, cool, yellow stars are typically shrouded in hydrogen, which conceals the star’s hot, blue interior.
But this yellow star, located 35 million light years from Earth in the Virgo galaxy cluster, was mysteriously lacking this crucial hydrogen layer at the time of its explosion.
