About PubSci at the Parrish
Brookhaven National Laboratory and the Parrish Art Museum have teamed up to present PubSci at the Parrish, a science and art conversation series that takes place in a pub-style setting. Panelists will engage the audience in an open discussion on intersections of science and art that shape our world.
In this first program, scientists and museum staff will discuss how ultra-bright x-rays at Brookhaven Lab’s National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II) uncovered the cause of degradation in a 15th-century oil painting. The panelists will describe their ongoing collaboration to better understand artwork degradation and preserve cultural relics.
