Calvin to exhibit
artist's work

In addition to his research and administrative achievements, Brad Smith creates animations and graphics demonstrating developmental biology for museums and documentary film companies including National Geographic, BBC, Nova, and the Discovery Channels. His current work addresses the intersections of science and art with a focus on reproductive technology and its impact on society's understanding of the social, ethical, and political status of the embryo.

We are pleased to be able to exhibit a piece of his art in the Science Atrium. At the 3:30 reception we will officially welcome the work to Calvin.
