The rural community of Pembroke Township, IL [Kankakee County], is an ecological epicenter of rare and diverse wildlife and a thriving synecology of human and nature dependency. Due to racism, redlining and other institutional barriers, Pembroke has experienced the highest poverty rates in the state, deeply threatening sustainable development and progress on all levels. Our community deserves energy efficient homes to keep our neighbors healthy and warm throughout the year. That’s why we launched the Pembroke Energy Efficiency Pilot (PEEP).

Join artists-in-residence, Nicole and Alan, in their exploration of CERN, the largest lab in the world studying the breakdown of matter. A meditation on this unexpected union of art and science. Senior Honors Thesis | Madeline Weir | Tufts University

How would the world change if artists and scientists more frequently exchanged ideas and created in collaboration? Madeline Weir reflects on her time at Arts at CERN, an artist-in-residency program at the European Center for Nuclear Research. By sharing an inside view of the way artists and scientists can work together and spark creative ideas, her talk highlights the value of interdisciplinary exchanges. Madeline Weir (she/her/hers) is a senior double majoring in International Relations - Economics, and Film & Media studies. She’s excited to discuss the collision of art and science and to talk about how we need to embrace interdisciplinary collaborations. This past summer, she worked at CERN, the European Center for Nuclear and Particle Physics Research. Her work there was to see how their artists-in-residence and scientists engage with one another and inspire each other’s work. Currently, she is working for NOVA with PBS-WGBH producing documentary style media for scientific communication. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
