How Beauty Shapes Scientific Discovery (Science Series)
At Longwood, beauty is more than an outcome—it’s a catalyst for curiosity, creativity, and scientific discovery. Join Longwood Associate Director of Science Communications Jessica Turner-Skoff, Ph.D., and explore how visually compelling landscapes, elegant plant forms, and artful design sharpen observation, inspire research, and enrich the scientific process. Drawing from Longwood’s tradition of display-driven discovery, and global examples where aesthetics and science intersect (from botanical art that advances taxonomy to garden design experiments that reveal ecological patterns), consider how beauty helps us see more clearly, think more imaginatively, and pursue solutions that connect people, plants, and place. This talk invites you to consider beauty not as ornament, but as an essential partner in scientific exploration.
