Abstract
Many things can be understood as communication, and people who reflect on artscience collaboration and communication refer to a kaleidoscope of experiences of changed communication: communication in the sense of outreach or communication of contents from one group to another group of people has been a major argument for artscience collaboration for a long time. Already in the 1980s an inclusion of art in the communication of science and scientific outreach processes has been proposed and supported by official funding bodies (Sleigh and Craske 2017). Exploring artworks for communication to a broader public has been adopted by science museums (Gates-Stuart 2014) and, lately, it has become a part of public engagement processes (Bureaud 2018). Others talk about inclusion of art to foster communication through experience or different senses. At the same time, artists, scientists, and managers report an increase in their communication skills through developing new conversational techniques to talk to a broader public and different stakeholder groups and learn to create a visual framework for presenting their idea and use nonverbal expressions.

Notes
- 1.
The brain is like an unimaginably complex circuit board, where information gets passed around between nerve cells to allow for locomotion, perception, thought, memory, and so on. To obtain that complexity, during development, the brain needs to go from a blob of tens of billions of unconnected nerve cells to a circuit containing more than a hundred trillion connections between those same cells. Chris Salmon’s research looks at how the circuitry in the hippocampus, a brain region essential for learning, memory, and spatial navigation, gets built.

The artist had to have a typhoid vaccination prior to starting the work.
