254: Why Art and Science go hand in hand

If you are passionate about STEM, Design, or Art this is a great episode to make time for! On this episode we sit down with Jen Christiansen: a senior graphics editor at Scientific American, where she art directs and produces illustrated information graphics and data visualizations. She began her publishing career in New York at Scientific American in 1996, moved to Washington DC to join the art department of National Geographic, spent four years as a freelance science communicator, then returned to Scientific American in 2007. We explore the power of Jen's new book Building Science Graphics: An illustrated guide to communicating science through diagrams and visualizations as a tool to help us think about the power of interdisciplinary learning.
