The Art of Science: How Graduate Research Meets the Public at the Buffalo Museum of Science

The Buffalo Museum of Science is currently hosting a new exhibit that celebrates the intersection of research, art, and community impact. The event, organized by the University at Buffalo, featured the second annual Art of Research competition on Tuesday night. Graduate and post-doctoral students were given the opportunity to showcase their work at the exhibit.

Dean Graham Hammill from UB’s Graduate School spoke about the importance of the project, emphasizing how it allows students to effectively communicate their studies and findings to the public. He highlighted the broad impacts that graduate research can have, from curing diseases and creating technologies to solving social inequities. The exhibit aims to help students step out of the specifics of their research and show the broader picture to the community.

The exhibition will be available for viewing at the museum until May, giving visitors the chance to appreciate the beautiful and insightful creations on display. It serves as a reminder of the important work being done by graduate students and post-doctoral researchers in a variety of fields. Be sure to stop by and see for yourself!
