Translating Science – a free online anthology
Explore the new collaborative
project connecting writers and scientists to share fresh insight
on the world
What happens when a scientist welcomes a writer into
their world? Can creative writing help us to communicate
cutting-edge scientific research to more people? Translating
Science is a collaborative project which brings seven
scientists from Norwich
Research Park together with
established writers, selected by National
Centre for Writing, so that experts
within two very different fields of work can gain fresh insight
and inspiration from each other.

'I began collecting the facts. I asked the
scientists what they knew. They spoke about understandings and
connections. I realised art and science were the same.' - 'Orange' by Megan Bradbury
|
|
The result is a series of stories, poems and essays
designed to inspire and translate ground-breaking science-based
research which is helping to solve the many challenges we face
today — such as ensuring that we have a plentiful and nutritious
food supply, understanding human health and nutrition, combatting
disease, and finding creative solutions to biodiversity loss and
climate change.
Featuring Megan Bradbury, Vahni Capildeo, Edward
Parnell, Shey Hargreaves and more.
