Nature is Mega. To see a quilt published in
Nature is ... unheard of?

That published quilt, by
Joni Seiderstein, is one of the illustrations of how art can enhance scientific communication and understanding, as part of a media-storm by artists called
#sciart, launched as part of SciArt Week via
Symbiartic, the art blog of the monthly magazine
Scientific American.
The aim is to get educators, researchers, journalists, scientists - and the rest of the world - to notice science-related art and "
to help advance the presence of images in science communication and culture."
