 | Students discover how creative writing and scientific inquiry offer different perspectives on the same complex and unfolding universe. Central to these courses, readings are inspired by science and provide students with models for creating their own poems, stories, and essays. For example, students might consider how Einstein's theory of relativity has influenced the images and themes of 20th-century poets, or how an essay about childhood memories is enhanced by understanding neuroscience. These courses involve substantial discussion of readings as well as writing workshops in which the instructor and peers offer constructive criticism. Students typically read, discuss, and write at least every other day (academic year) or daily (summer). |  |
