What Scientists Read is a project designed to look at the influence of literature upon scientists and their work. Interdisciplinary ‘sci-art’ projects that interpret scientific information in an artistic way are flourishing. But this project is different. What Scientists Read will test the assumption that the influence of science upon the arts is a one-way street.
