We decided our first approach will be ART. We are pleased to announce the launch of Science Art Gallery .com.

The goals of Science Art Gallery is to blur the lines between art and science, such that our visitors (especially our non-scientist audience) would appreciate the visual as well as the conceptual beauty that science exhibits.

In addition, Science Art Gallery will feature science-inspired art for sale. A portion of every sale will be donated to fund research.

Taken together, Science Art Gallery is a self-sustaining mechanism to simultaneously close the science gap while raising funds to support cancer research.
