I ART MY SCIENCE
MYSTERIES IN SCIENCE
In this third edition of I Art My Science, we invite you, the creative minds, to dive into the mysteries in your science and unveil some of those mysteries to our community. Whether you are a bachelor's, master’s or PhD student, teacher, professor or medical doctor, scientific staff or a patient in contact with science, you are encouraged to reveal sides of science that are normally hidden to the world. The aim of this open call is to offer a multidisciplinary journey into the unknown, where we can explore together the wonders of the world through the eyes of the artist.
