Art and Science are often considered polar opposites. Yet both require curiosity, inspiration, and careful observation to create, learn, and move our understanding forward. As a biologist, illustrator, and science educator, Dr. Jennifer Landin will share her approach to teaching biological illustration as an example of how knowledge, observation, and drawing impact each other.

Dr. Jennifer Landin is an associate professor in NCSU’s Department of Biological Sciences. Her course in biological illustration is a favorite among science and art students alike, garnering international attention. Jennifer’s research focuses on how visual communication influences student conceptions. She is currently exploring the value of art to create awe and inspire positive environmental action.
