Exhibition opening October 29, 2011. I've just sent four new works to the framers, inspired by Dr Adam Hamlin's gorgeous images of rodent brains and research into the birth and death of neurons, as well as some of his earlier work on addiction.

Kingdom of the Blind. A Culture at Work project. Wednesday, September 26, 2012. The title of this blog post is also the title of a recent podcast episode. From Big Picture Science. I can highly recommend the episode, which looks at the reasons and ways in which we use laboratory rats to tell us more about ourselves. The whole Kingdom of the Blind project began with rats.

Kingdom of the Blind: February 2012
http://cultureatwork-hamlin-lord.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Kingdom of the Blind. A Culture at Work project. Monday, February 13, 2012. It was exciting to read this story. In the Sydney Morning Herald. Although you need a subscription to read more than the précis. Links to this post. Tuesday, February 7, 2012. Neuroscience of art appreciation. It's an old question: What is art? What is "good" art? Do you love the art because it appeals to you or just because it's in an art gallery? Does knowing whether a work is authentic add to your appreciation?

Kingdom of the Blind: Horses for courses
http://cultureatwork-hamlin-lord.blogspot.com/2012/10/horses-for-courses.html
Kingdom of the Blind. A Culture at Work project. Monday, October 22, 2012. My recent visit to Charles Sturt University coincided with an experiment being carried out by a PhD student, Briony. She is researching the effects of kisspeptin, a protein that affects hormone production and may be able to be used to better control the breeding cycles of mares. It's whimsical name comes from Hershey's Kisses, because it was first identified in Hershey, Pennsylvania, also the home of the chocolate.

Kingdom of the Blind. A Culture at Work project. Friday, October 19, 2012. National Life Sciences Hub. I visited Charles Sturt University and Dr Adam Hamlin a week before the opening of the new National Life Sciences Hub, a brand new building for biological science teaching and research in which Dr Hamlin's lab would soon be located. The teaching labs are hi-tech and gleaming, ready for the first students to come in and scribble their names all over the furniture. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Kingdom of the Blind: July 2011
http://cultureatwork-hamlin-lord.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Kingdom of the Blind. A Culture at Work project. Thursday, July 21, 2011. I'm pretty busy with another project at the moment but staying in touch with Culture at Work via the newsletter. Fiona Davies's work with silk fibre and red dye is amazing, as was the interesting presentation she made with Dr Peter Domachuk, whose work with silk biomedical implants is definitely something to watch in the future. Peter has just started up a new project called Scribbletronics. Okay, a thousand and one words.).
