Renowned glass artist Josh Simpson and former NASA Astronaut Cady Coleman will discuss their lives in art and science together and how they have influenced each other throughout their careers.

The Interplay of Science, Art, and Exploration in the Lives of Glass Artist Josh Simpson and Astronaut Cady Coleman

In this slide talk, Josh Simpson and Cady Coleman discuss the intersection of science, art, and exploration in their lives. Josh shares how his original glass sculptures are fueled by his deep fascination with astrophysics and the mysteries of the universe, while Cady offers unexpected insights into her experiences as an astronaut-scientist aboard the International Space Station. Together, their distinct pursuits--creation of art and exploration of space-?enrich both of their journeys.

After the lecture they will be available to sign copies of their books which can be purchased on site. Enjoy light refreshments and conversation at a reception to follow.

Lecture at 2:00pm and reception at 3:00pm.
