Science, Art, and the Search for Meaning: Exhibition Opening Conversation with Dario Robleto
Block Museum of Art
2:00 PM
//
McCormick Auditorium, Norris University Center
Details
For Dario Robleto, the practice of art shares a key aspiration with scientific endeavor: both artists and scientists strive to increase the sensitivity of their observations. In her contribution to The Heart’s Knowledge catalogue, Jennifer Roberts (Professor of the Humanities, Harvard University) writes that “the act of measurement cannot be separated from the search for meaning.” What are the tools that artists and scientists use to observe and measure the unknown? How might we use those tools collaboratively to construct new pathways of human understanding across time and distance? How might shared values of empathy, care, and curiosity guide such pursuits?
In this opening conversation, Robleto and Roberts will be joined by Lucianne Walkowicz, astronomer and co-founder of the JustSpace Alliance, and Michael Metzger, Pick-Laudati Curator of Media Arts and curator of The Heart’s Knowledge, to reflect on these questions. Join us for a discussion that reaches across boundaries to examine the shared pursuit of greater understanding that binds artists and scientists.
Drop by The Block early and join the Block Museum Student Associates in the galleries for a look at the exhibition.
Programs are open to all, on a first-come first-served basis. RSVPs not required, but appreciated.

Professional Development Series: Conflict Resolution
McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science
12:00 PM
//
The Hive, Room 2-350, Ford Motor Company Engineering Design Center
Details

Join us for a series of professional development events hosted by McCormick HR. The first event of the series will focus on conflict resolution.
Conflict is an unavoidable part of life, both at home and at work. Knowing how to resolve conflict – and, in many cases, reap the benefits that conflict can bring – is a valuable skill. Participants in this workshop will learn how to iron out differences before they escalate, they will explore the dynamics of conflict, develop awareness of their role in conflict situations, and acquire tips for dealing with hostile individuals.
This event is voluntary and open to all Northwestern Engineering staff, faculty, postdocs, and research staff.
Training provided by SupportLinc, your Employee Assistance Program
