Phil LevinGUEST
Science helps us understand what is happening, why it's happening and what actions are likely to work.

Phil LevinGUEST
And I think that poetry and other art forms can help people understand why any of that matters through people's emotions or memories or identities, imagination, values.

Phil LevinGUEST
So science gives us the evidence, but art helps us understand what that evidence means in human life.

Phil LevinGUEST
I mean, David should speak to this, but some of the work that he's done in the past or the poets for science have done in the past, like on vaccines, or if we think about space, there's a lot of emotion there, whether space, you're just awestruck with the vastness of it, or with a pandemic, with fear and anxiety.
