Do you write code at the IGB? Do you work with someone who does? Join us for lunch as we discuss some of our best practices for developing research software – and how to come up with your own.

The IGB’s Art of Science program is a celebration of the common ground between science and art. Images from Illinois research were the starting point for these works, which were created by researchers working in partnership with IGB artist Julia Pollack. These pieces are the result of conversations between the scientists and the artist. The show will run through the mon
