Science Is Culture

<p><strong><em>Seed </em>magazine brings together a unique gathering of prominent scientists artists novelists philosophers and other thinkers who are tearing down the wall between science and culture.</strong></p><p>We are on the cusp of a twenty-first-century scientific renaissance. Science is driving our culture and conversation unlike ever before transforming the social political economic aesthetic and intellectual landscape of our time. Today science is culture. As global issues--like energy and health--become increasingly interconnected and as our curiosities--like how the mind works or why the universe is expanding--become more complex we need a new way of looking at the world that blurs the lines between scientific disciplines and the borders between the sciences and the arts and humanities. </p><p>In this spirit the award-winning science magazine <em>Seed</em> has paired scientists with nonscientists to explore ideas of common interest to us all. This book is the result of these illuminating <em>Seed</em> Salon conversations edited and with an introduction by <em>Seed</em> founder and editor in chief Adam Bly. <em>Science Is Culture</em> includes: </p><ul>E.
