What is science communication? This collection proposes that it can be creative writing
aimed at the heart, rather than information directed to the mind.
FicSci playfully subverts the term ‘science fiction’ to offer an experimental process that
explores the limits of imagination in relation to scientific possibility (and vice versa). FicSci is
an experiment in hybridized creative practice that induces new forms of knowledge-making
between the hard sciences and the social world. This collection offers writing that emerged
from an encounter that brought twelve creative writers together with an astronomer.
The presented science invited contemplation of scientific aspects of the night sky, in specific
X-ray binary stars, extra-galactic sources, and magellanic clouds. The creative writings that
emerged are attendant to the wider potentialities of scientific thought, and reveal how
methodologies for storying the scientific encounter are creatively multi-form.
