Episode #24: "Art on the Moon? Science Meets Creativity" with Dr. Priyanka Rajkakati

If you look at our Moon these days, would you think that it will soon be an extraterrestrial art exhibition? 🌗 🖼️ Priyanka Rajkakati, PhD is a scientist. And she is an artist. For her, that's not two sides of the same medal, but a complementary way of experiencing our world. As scientists, we often don't know what we are looking for (and where, and why, and when 😵‍💫). So, why not approaching these problems in a creative way? Her work has brought her to all seven continents, her art has been on the ISS and will soon land on the Moon with theFirefly Aerospace mission (fingers crossed). She has won numerous awards such as Forbes India 30 under 30 and L'Oréal Woman of Worth, and is an Alumni Ambassador of the Embassy of France in India. And most importantly, her unique approach of seeing science and art as a unity allows her to communicate the big stories of our time to a broad audience, thereby creating a much larger impact on the world. Thank you, Priyanka, for sharing your views with us! It was such a fun talk about sustainable space races, grasses from US golf courses in the Antarctica, and why we send art to space!#yourfriendlyphysicist
