A match for the ages
The arts + sciences. Have you ever wondered why they are often paired together? After all, on the surface, they seem to be on opposite ends of the academic spectrum.

Just like a breakthrough in the lab requires creative thinking, artistic expression and literary analysis involve a combination of rigor, innovation, and inspiration to achieve a desired end-result—and we all know that influencing change in society requires a delicate balance of both brain and heart.
