Molecular mechanisms regulate the shape of cells. Cells form tissues and organs. Organs perform functions to support the life of organisms. Scientists perform functions to study the molecules and mechanisms, the cells, the tissues, the organs and the organisms. But who are these scientists? What do they do? What is it like to perform functioning science? And what supports the life of science?
From the Department of Physiology, Development & Neuroscience (PDN) comes a performative exhibition that tells the scientists’ stories: stories of what it is like to be a researcher focused on molecules, cells, tissues, organs and organisms; stories that explore the vast array of facets in science, from algorithmic pipetting to private and idiosyncratic moments of reflection, from minute cell cultures to complex international movements of researchers and papers. The performative exhibition invites you in, behind the luminous curtain of well-ordered scientific knowledge, to explore what it is like to live in science.
The performance is devised by PDN scientists during an extended series of creative workshops as a part of the “CultureLab” project.
