Exploring interfaces between science and the humanities
Carrie Roy, post-doctorate coordinator of Humanities Research Bridge, was one of the dozen winners of the Emerging Interface Awards from the Wisconsin Institute of Discovery. Roy won the award for her work with visual representations from children's storybooks to molecules in the body. Other winners include graduate student Kaitlin Rienzo-Stack, who won a grant for her project which aims at bringing opposite sides of a clean water debate together through square dancing; Chris Bocast, who is hoping to produce podcasts about WID research; Emily Eggleston, who will apply her science writing focus to creating a flow-chart-style-entry point to help people find scientific disciplines or even individual UW-Madison labs that match their interests.
Outcomes
The Emerging Interface Award provides $2,500 to help students explore the different ways thinkers in the humanities and sciences approach discovery. The award seeks to promote creative and engaging explorations at interfaces between science and technology and the arts, humanities, social sciences and education.
