The final part of a 2 thread series on creativity in science (part 1 here: teapawt.net/ATJCagan/status/182330…). Artists and scientists share common tools for thinking. However in the arts much more time is spent on developing these practices and techniques for creative problem solving.
At a recent conference @AthenaAktipis invited me to give a talk on the role of creativity in science. For those interested here are the illustrated slides in tweetorial format. The take home message: Creativity and science go hand in hand. (Thread 1 of 2)
