Our mission is to reignite public interest in and subsequent support for science and technology by making basic research more accessible and meaningful to everyone.BioEASI was founded in 2008 at the University of California, San Diego by 3 graduate students who were seeking innovative ways of pushing science from the lab into the community.Since art is valued universally for its capacity to communicate to people in a way that words cannot, it presents itself as a way for making even the most complex issues of science comprehensible to anyone and everyone. BioEASI, therefore, strives to blur the distinctions between art and science by exhibiting the aesthetics of research from active scientists in public domains and in the classroom.As a part of this mission, BioEASI works toward the following aims:Invoke public interest in and appreciation for the basic sciences with science art in public areas (libraries and city buildings). Science art pieces include primary data from scientists, artistic renditions of research from various fields of study, and science-loving artists' interpretations of science.Inspire artistic expression from scientists and scientific thinking from artists at social events, thereby creating collaborative science art projects for public outreach.Excite the next generation with in-classroom presentations of stunning science art, introduce scientific thinking with hands on experiments, and motivate students with their own science art creations.
