Science and art are often regarded as distinct – either a person can’t be serious about both or an interest in one must relate somehow to work in the other. In reality, many scientists participate in and produce art at all levels and in every medium.

From first-time dancers to life-long painters, these scientists give us a glimpse into the many ways science and art intersect.
