#EASST4S2024 #STS #art #space Want to talk about STS and the arts? - Join our panel on artistic interventions and public engagement practices as forms of knowledge. Our main focus is on space and (inter)planetary imaginations, but we are open to different empirical fields. The deadline is on Feb 12.

Ever wondered what a day in the life of a scientist looks like? Or what exactly an astronaut or environmental scientist does on a daily basis? As someone who often counsels students and young STEM enthusiasts, I frequently encounter these questions. It's not always easy to paint a picture of the diverse and fascinating world of science. Fortunately, we live in an age where information is readily available at our fingertips. Today, I'm sharing a resource that provides an insightful glimpse into the lives of various scientists. It includes interviews, personal journeys, and a peek into their day-to-day work. Whether you're a budding scientist, a curious mind, or someone looking to inspire a young enthusiast, this link is a treasure trove of stories from the world of science. Check it out and feel free to share it with others who might find it interesting. Link - https://lnkd.in/gw5PXjRA Let's continue to spark curiosity and inspire the next generation of scientists!

I'm always harping on about the importance of the creative arts. As the late, great Sir Ken Robinson said "Creativity now is as important in education as literacy, and we should treat it with the same status" This short video clip is a brilliant example of how transferable skills developed through crafting led to a career in engineering #CreativeArts #ArtsAndCrafts #CreativeEducation #Creativity #STEM #STEAM #WomenInSTEM #TransferableSkills https://lnkd.in/eKqip4hD

Delighted to share our newly published paper: Making transdisciplinarity work for complex systems: A dynamic model for blending diverse knowledges. Complex social issues cannot be approached from a single discipline but require knowledge spillover from the intersection of multiple fields, disciplines and cultures.The paper presents a transdisciplinary framework designed to blend different knowledges and resources via a non-hierarchical, self-organizing collaboration to foster the integration of scholarly expertise, artistic expression and lived experiences to engage broad audiences in knowledge exchange. https://lnkd.in/ejHBhbgj #Science #Art #RelationalSpace #Futures

?? Thank you Fernando Gago Encinas for attending yesterday and for highlighting my pitch! I’m so greatful to hear that I could serve as a source of inspiration at Falling Walls Foundation Engage!! ??However, I’d like to emphasise that I am not a scientist. Like many of yesterday’s winners, my background is actually in the Social Sciences and Humanities??To be a Public Engagement professional and succeed in Science Engagement, it isn’t necessary to be a scientist. It’s essential to highlight this so that we can build a broader understanding of what it means to work in this field, and to show future generations the different pathways that can lead to becoming a science communicator. You don’t need to be a scientist first to become a science communicator! Whether you come from a scientific background and transition into science communication, or your roots lie in the social sciences, humanities, or another discipline entirely, it’s important to seek appropriate training and educate yourself about public engagement in science. There are many ways to achieve this, and a wealth of research exists on Public Engagement in Science. At KOI Public Engagement we also offer training in Public Engagement for instance!! Reach out, we are there to help ??

"Emotions are predictions" (L.F. Barret) Space impacts on our emotions and wellbeing, true, but how? There are different spaces and different space-coding-systems; we can affirm that space influences our behaviour but what we perceive of space it is not a unitary image, it is indeed related to many factors, including what we have already experienced. I am pleased to be among the speakers of EURAU 24 where I will present my research-investigation about what happens if space does not fulfil our predictions. It is not about saying "wow" once, it is more about embodying a reality that subverts a crystallised and fully coded construction. ?#emotions ?#spacecoding ?#wellbeing ?#predictions ?#embodiment

The Swamp Observatory: Eco-Monsters of the Future Swamp is a conceptual AR playground created by Nomeda & Gediminas Urbonas, powered by Hoverlay. Based on a collaboration with primary school youth, the project proposes a new type of multi-sensorial public space where humans and nonhumans meet in a hybrid world of reality and ?ction. AR experiences facilitate a vision of a “shadow biosphere” —life forms yet invisible to us—and seeks to catalyze human imagination for new commonalities that open up for relational experimentation with living and nonliving matter around us. #augmentedreality #augmentedrealityart #augmentedrealityapp #immersiveexperience #immersive #environmental #immersiveart

#5CongressoNEUROEDU Fascinating talk today by Ana Mombiedro at University of Barcelona on the importance of neuroarchitecture and sensitive design. Thinking about how spaces impact on our neural development, raising issues for not only how we design our cities but our schools,classrooms and playgrounds…below is a powerful example from an image of a study in mice that shows the difference between neurons of mice living in stimulating vs less stimulating environments.. correlational certainly but still interesting to consider when we think about our living and educational spaces!#neurodiversity #neuroarchitecture #researchmatters

There is a bigger picture to consider which leads us to this paradigm. The space industry is honed in on fundamental utility and sustainable market outlooks (often not entirely aligned with sustainable environmental outlooks). We all eventually throw things away because it's not worth it anymore, and we aren't investing into reusing and recycling hardware on orbit - there is yet a lot of RDT&E, validation, and derisking on how to do it. And while there are companies exploring doing such, they don't get the support (and don't have the short- and medium-term prospects) that companies with robust business models predicated on traditional manufacturing and deployment of independent solutions do. We are challenged in building solutions for the future by the present we live in. There's a lot we can do with materials on-orbit, even rudimentarily. Pallets of batteries that are unusable? Could serve as thermal mass and radiation shielding supplementation, but how to safely and reliably coordinate, maneuver, and incorporate them into a broader structure? MMOD have myriad potential uses, but it is tough to justify an RPOD and ISAM mission to repurpose them instead of spending half as much on a fully-functional spacecraft with an actual purpose. It gets even more difficult when you consider what ISRU takes. How do you justify selling a street sweeper to a town when they can instead buy another vehicle that does a job they already have a demand for? I've tried a lot of approaches, e.g. looking at operational efficiency, chronic risks, etc. Yes, it is still happening, but it is a lean and challenging ecosystem when perhaps, if the incentives were different, it might not have to be.
