Drawing Water Art and Science Interns
We are seeking three undergraduate interns interested in working at the boundary of art and science. The goal of the art and science collaboration is to demonstrate the beauty of the natural world and the scientific process; bridge communication and interest for varied groups of people; and encourage the next generation to link art and science to generate a richer and wider value system. We welcome applications from students coming from artistic and/or scientific backgrounds that are excited to work at this interface. First review of applications will begin March 13th.
