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.
