What I do.
I research on the role of beauty in science, asking questions such as:
- Can beauty guide us in uncovering nature’s truths or is it a bias that can lead to unproductive scientific explorations?
- What role does beauty play in the lab?
- How do scientists use beauty in experimentation and what does it mean for an experiment to be beautiful?
- Are beautiful scientific products, such as theories, experiments or images, more likely to reveal deep truths about nature or to misguide us?
