Testimonials“Too often within academia we become stuck within our disciplinary silos… I realized that with the conversations with [my partner] I had a chance to get out of the disciplinary silo, even just for a few minutes every week…So that’s been the most rewarding part of The Bridge program for me, just this opportunity to get out of the normal and expose myself to a more interdisciplinary way of thinking…” “Through working on The Bridge I’ve really come to see how neuroscience… is really an excellent blend with art. There’s so much intersection, they really go hand in hand, and I’m just amazed at how participating in The Bridge has really inspired me and given me a much broader perspective on my science, and its been wonderful, and its really fun, honestly!” “I often see scientists and artists really getting comfortable in their own zones, working on their own projects, getting really focused, whether its in the studio or the lab, but what The Bridge showed me was just how easy and beneficial it is to talk with someone, collaborate with someone… that we already have so much, that we already had quite a bit in common…” “Seeing [my partner’s] embroidery move forward gave me feedback about how I was communicating my science…where I was being clear, and what points needed to be made in a different way…the collaboration really helped me understand how to better communicate the scientific work that I do so that it can be incorporated into another persons artistic vision…” |
