Science Conversations in Partnership with Science Chicago

How do embryonic cells know which organs to form? How do artists combine media to form art pieces?

Ellen Roth Deutsch, mixed media artist and former biochemist and microbiologist, will discuss her collaborative project with her daughter, pathologist Dr. Gail Deutsch of Seattle Children's Hospital. While at Cincinnati Children's Hospital, Dr. Gail Deutsch's research focused on undifferentiated embryonic cells from mice to determine how signals from developing heart patterns form organs. Parelleling her daughter's research, Ellen Deutsch stitches beads together to create interpreted human organs.

Free and open to the public. Please call 312-814-5318 with questions.
