The rapid advances currently being made in biomedical research are
challenging the ways we view our bodies and the environment.
"Perceptions of Promise" arose from a workshop that brought
together internationally recognized artists and biomedical scholars
and scientists to explore questions surrounding stem cell research,
public perceptions of biotechnology, and the parallels and
differences between creative and scientific practices.
"Perceptions of Promise" includes artworks created in response
to the workshop coupled with articles by world-renowned scholars
and medical researchers. It offers a compelling glimpse into a
unique collaboration between scientists, scholars, and artists in a
visually engaging publication that challenges the reader to
consider the possibilities of biotechnology and stem cell
research.
