The Humanistic Aspects of the Arts and the Sciences

The Humanistic Aspects of the Arts and the Sciences 

Capturing snow (seen by me for the first time!) in an ice bucket in the lab of Dr. David Mott at USC School of Medicine!

The humanistic aspects of the arts and the sciences are evident in the people who make the work happen, and the spaces and institutions where this work takes place. In my scientific and artistic disciplines, I have been privileged to learn from so many wonderful mentors and gurus. The arts and sciences are also human-oriented disciplines, with the work done by people, hopefully to positively impact other people. In addition to the role of gurus and mentors, there is an important role of peers and colleagues as well.

​Over the next few posts, I will highlight my gurus and talk about the things they have taught me in the arts and sciences, and many allied lessons. I talk about my graduate advisor Dr. David Mott, Dr. Gerardo Piroli for science, and Smt. Maheshwari Nagarajan ("Amma") and Smt. Vanitha Jayan ("Didi") for dance.
