In that respect, it allows to use technology in different ways and question science (e.g. AI development)<\/li>\n<li>Fun fact: former lab director Paul Alivasatos did have an artist in residence (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.katenicholsstudio.com\/\" onclick=\"_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'outbound-article', 'https:\/\/www.katenicholsstudio.com\/', 'Kate Nichols']);\" >Kate Nichols<\/a>) in his lab, working on quantum dots that created colors and texture that no pigment could reach.<\/li>\n<li>Art allows one to reach out to many audiences and let their imagination flow, without the tight constraints of scholarly knowledge imposes. As such, art is a key component to improve diversity in academia, as emphasized in the report from the National Academy of science on &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalacademies.org\/our-work\/the-integration-of-the-humanities-and-arts-with-sciences-engineering-and-medicine-in-higher-education\" onclick=\"_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'outbound-article', 'https:\/\/www.nationalacademies.org\/our-work\/the-integration-of-the-humanities-and-arts-with-sciences-engineering-and-medicine-in-higher-education', 'The Integration of the Humanities and Arts with Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine in Higher Education']);\" >The Integration of the Humanities and Arts with Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine in Higher Education<\/a>&#8220;<\/li>\n<\/ul><p>There were interesting question about art and science, and the Western cannon.
