Exhibition opening March 15th at 5:30p @ the tranSci Lab for Real World Chemistry and Creative Communication, Chemistry Building, Room 222.
The Aperiodic Table offers a methodology for transdisciplinary research on material trajectories across space and time. It is a roadmap for the new, strange, and often harmful material formations, unique to this geological epoch of human-accelerated change.
The tranSci Lab for Real World Chemistry and Creative Communication is a new transdisciplinary space for planetary health and sustainability research at UVA. The lab studies material pathways to address how unsustainable relationships to the material world are related to global emergencies such as climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution and more. The tranSci Lab project includes specially designed multimedia and wet lab spaces (presently under construction) adjacent to the STEM Commons, equipped for cross-grounds and community research, as well as all stages of the creative/design process. We also envision a robust annual residency program that supports interdisciplinary research and professional development for graduate students and scholars, as well as for-credit undergraduate offerings.
