To do so, we will review five anecdotes from the history of science, ranging from the beginnings of the Scientific Revolution to the Theory of Relativity.<\/span>\u00a0Each of these developments\u00a0inspired\u00a0contemporaries, or the scientists themselves, to craft poems about science. Based on the central theme of each of these poems, we will examine the conceptual advances that inspired them. In doing so, we will aim to derive first principles that could prove useful in guiding our own research.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Neuroscience brown bag Alex Maier, PhD Associate Professor of Psychology Associate Professor of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences Date: Friday, September 19, 2025 Time: 1:25- 2:15pm Location: 316 Wilson Hall Taking Arts + Science Literally: Five Takeaways from Poems about Research Our college advertises with the slogan: \u201cWhen Art + Science come together, anything is possible.\u201d&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":187,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[10],"tags":[],"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/as.vanderbilt.edu\/psychology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2045"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/as.vanderbilt.edu\/psychology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/as.vanderbilt.edu\/psychology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/as.vanderbilt.edu\/psychology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/187"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/as.vanderbilt.edu\/psychology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2045"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/as.vanderbilt.edu\/psychology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2045\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2188,"href":"https:\/\/as.vanderbilt.edu\/psychology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2045\/revisions\/2188"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/as.vanderbilt.edu\/psychology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2045"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/as.vanderbilt.edu\/psychology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2045"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/as.vanderbilt.edu\/psychology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2045"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
