Thank you to everyone who worked to make The Art and Science of
Systems Biology so smooth. What a team, and a validation of the new
organization. Looking forward to many more of these as SFX expands and
flourishes. Great model for what is to come.
Professionally, and as a community coming together, something potent
emerged at this event.
All-ages hands-on workshops engaged and educated people, opened them
up to getting messy and thinking analytically. Scientists gave talks
accessible to many levels with visual and conceptual beauty as
elements in their work - and were like kids around the art and
technology.
Science, in its obstinate, glorious investigating and communicating
of absolutely everything, links art and technology. That was so
apparent here. The presence of so much unadulterated science vitalized
this event. Balance happened; art, science and technology actually
intersected.

Thanks everyone! This makes me extremely happy and I feel lucky to
be a part of this incredible organization.
I feel like the event was on an entirely new level for the Complex.
I felt especially content while in the dome - a sacred and protected
space to worship and reflect upon the technology of our time.

The "Art & Science of Systems Biology" event this weekend did the
Complex proud. It was a great community event with more than 150
attendees each day and an excellent demonstration of the power of
combining art, science, and technology.
Thanks to all who contributed to its success, with special thanks
to Ed Angel for orchestrating it in the first place, Susan Ashford
for managing the event, Dena Aquilina for feeding the crowd, Tyler
White for a great job on the advertising graphics, Molly Seibel for
her work publicizing the event, Joe Abraham Dean (Lumenscapes) for
bringing us the dome, Simon Mehalek for masterminding the technical
support, Adam Shipman for his AV and printing help, and the WPI
crew for pitching in to help on a multitude of tasks.
In addition, we owe huge thanks to the event sponsors--Bill
Hlavecek (Center for Nonlinear Studies, LANL), Elaine Bearer and
Janet Oliver (UNM and NM Spatiotemporal Modeling Center) and the
New Mexico Consortium--as well as to all the speakers and workshop
leaders.
Next week, we'll be posting material from the event on our website
for those who weren't able to attend. Watch for some great art and
charming photos of little kids totally engrossed in science, most
of them wearing "tattoos" saying, "I'm made of atoms."
