SUMMARY:Crossroads of Ideas – Comparing the Creative Process in Science and Art
DESCRIPTION:There is more overlap between scientific research and creative writing than you may think! Both involve a process of research\, creative thought and storytelling\, and in this panel we will discuss what these disciplines have in common and what each can take from the other. Acclaimed novelist Chloe Benjamin (THE IMMORTALISTS) uses science to inform her fiction\, while data scientist and statistician Claudia Solis-Lemus writes fiction and memoir when she isn’t researching evolutionary biology and microbiome. Moderated by novelist and WID writer in residence Michelle Wildgen. \n\nChloe Benjamin is the author of The Immortalists\, a New York Times bestseller\, and The Anatomy of Dreams. \nA Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers selection\, LibraryReads favorite\, and #1 Indie Next pick\, The Immortalists was named a best book of 2018 by NPR\, The Washington Post\, Entertainment Weekly\, and others.\nThe Anatomy of Dreams received the Edna Ferber Fiction Book Award and was long listed for the 2014 Center for Fiction First Novel Prize. \nOriginally from San Francisco\, CA\, Chloe is a graduate of Vassar College and the M.F.A. in fiction at the University of Wisconsin. Her work has been translated into over thirty languages. She lives with her husband and two Maine Coon cats in Madison\, WI\, where she is at work on a third novel. \n\n  \n \nClaudia Solís-Lemus is an assistant professor at the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery and the Department of Plant Pathology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Originally from Mexico City\, she did her Undergraduate degrees in Actuarial Sciences and Applied Mathematics at ITAM. She then earned an MA in Mathematics and a PhD in Statistics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n  \nMichelle Wildgen is the author of four novels\, most recently WINE PEOPLE\, published in August.
