Author writes:"Decisions on educational priorities are about the sort of nation we want to become. The UK already ranks second in
the list of most Nobel laureates – with the majority of these prizes coming in science and medicine. In forcing an ever more
efficient production line of high-performing school-level mathematicians and scientists, we risk strangling the creative arts. My
hunch is that British strength in the arts is integral to understanding why we have so many Nobel prizes: breakthroughs in
science and technology always need a spark of creativity, too."
The focus on maths and science doesn’t add up.
The arts must be in the equation | Kester Brewin
Throwing resources at science, technology, engineering and maths in England
hasn’t worked. We need to reaffirm the importance of a more rounded education

As you know, Science Art-Nature works to raise the visibility of Science Art (works that represent truths about the world and its creatures). As you probably also know, in a world of increasing complexity and vulnerability, this public service effort has much more to do than it has funds to do it. So...we're trying a crowd-sourcing effort. If you have a few extra dollars ($5-10), maybe you can help. At the least, we hope to raise enough funds to produce a virtual exhibit on a critical topic. (Tell us which topic you think is most critical.) So far, we've raised 10 percent of our minimum goal of $1,000) For more info, click on the graphic. On behalf of Science Art-Nature, thank you for taking the time to consider this. D.W.

Time Magazine notes that photographer Hannah Whitaker: "...was tasked with visualizing the complex story of CRISPR,
a groundbreaking genome editing tool. Each subject—a baby, mice, and a tomato—was approached with a different stylistic
technique "
and concludes: "The languages of science and art both have their own complexities, but Whitaker’s photographs
combine the two with artfulness and craft."

A quote from Andrea Wulf's article: "During the 1850s and ’60s, Church painted several stunning South American scenes. His
most famous painting, though, was “The Heart of the Andes,” which combined beauty with the most meticulous geological,
botanical and scientific detail—this was Humboldt’s concept of interconnectedness writ large on canvas."
