Скачать или смотреть Collaborations and Collisions in Science and Art: Brendan Owens at the OAE’s 3rd Shaw-IAU Workshop

Brendan Owens, Science Gallery, Dublin, Ireland, introduces us to the subtle art of collisions and dialogues among scientists and artists.

This was a talk given at the 3rd Shaw-IAU Workshop on Astronomy for Education, organised by the IAU Office of Astronomy for Education (OAE, http//astro4edu.org).

What happens when science and art collide? The Science Gallery network explores this exciting frontier where scientists and artists collaborate to bring their combined effort to the public in a variety of head-turning exhibits and performances. This talk combines inspirational works from Science Gallery Dublin with the personal journey of the speaker; from physics undergraduate, to Public Engagement Manager at the Royal Observatory Greenwich to researcher at Science Gallery Dublin, Trinity College Dublin. The talk will include practical guidance on how to promote a healthy backdrop for innovation when combining disciplines for public consumption.

About the 3rd Shaw-IAU Wrkshop:

Within the topic What everybody should know about Astronomy Education, the 3rd Shaw-IAU Workshop on Astronomy for Education was held virtually from 12 -15 October 2021. What are the things that, in an ideal world, all of us who are active in astronomy education should know — about teaching methods, about ways to make our events and resources equitable, about evaluation techniques, about astronomy education research? For participants who are new(-ish) to astronomy education, the workshop provided a unique opportunity to familiarise themselves with many different aspects of the field in one go — and for the rest of us, it was an opportunity to both revisit the basics and learn new things. The workshop was organised by the IAU Office of Astronomy for Education (http://astro4edu.org). More details can be found on: https://astro4edu.org/shaw-iau/3rd-sh...
