Last week, @cobioethics.bsky.social brought the stories of Henrietta Lacks, artist Jeffrey Kent, and our Science in Suspension project to 150 Aurora STEM Middle School 6th graders. Go owls!

And “Science in Suspension” is up in the windows of the Fulginiti Pavilion at #CUAnschutz! I love how the sun cuts through the Petrie dishes—like stained glass. Today, students came to make art and discuss The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, as part of the One Book One Campus program.

Delighted to share photos from our “Science in Suspension” art project from last week’s opening! We are now shaping them into clusters to hang in our windows. Looking forward to bringing this project on the road to Aurora STEM Middle School’s 6th graders after Thanksgiving! @cobioethics.bsky.social

Need a break, #CUAnschutz? Take 10 minutes for art at the Fulginiti Pavilion on 11/21 — all day! See the opening of Jeffrey Kent’s Recovering Secrets in the gallery and make your own acrylic art in a Petri dish! @cobioethics.bsky.social @cuanschutz.bsky.social

And the Jeffrey Kent exhibition is nearly up and running…

Jeffrey Kent
HeLa No. 249, 2018

Here, Kent uncovers the complex patterns of cellular division. Each layer of paint suggests both scientific process & historical erasure. The abstracted forms speak to how HeLa cells, like Lacks’ story, resist containment-breaking boundaries both biological & social

Getting ready for the opening of: “Recovering Secrets: The Art of Jeffrey Kent” at the Fulginiti Pavilion, CU Center for Bioethics & Humanities (@cobioethics.bsky.social) @cuanschutz.bsky.social, coming this Thursday, 11/21. Free and open to everyone!
