Writers today are engaged in groundbreaking interactions between art and science. A diverse range of women writers working across genres and media present innovative projects that take on physics, cosmology, neuroscience, and environmental science. They present their work and create compelling questions for discussion: what transpires when writers take on scientific disciplines in all their demanding complexity and precision? How does science change writing? How does writing change science?
