Toni Feder at Physics today has compiled a bunch of different projects, from higher dimensional lattices to pixelated, non-edible peep rainbows, illustrating the creative connection between Art and Science. Scroll to the bottom of the Physics Today page for a fun sampling of these works.

The College of William and Mary recently held their Immersive Conservation Mural Pitch Competition. We're excited to see what comes out of it!

For the visually inclined, we've recently updated our "Knot Theory for Everybody" YouTube playlist with a sampling of 8-cross prime knots. These things are gorgeous, and only exist in three-dimensions! Check out the 8_1 knot, for example. In the coming weeks we'll introduce some of the famous "knot invariants", which allow us to talk with mathematical precision about these beauties.

In case you haven't had enough of particle physics and art, you can always check out CERN's art group. They have a particularly well-curated instagram account.
