National Academies of Sciences Webinar: Imagination in Science

Space Science Week 2026 Keynote Public Lecture, 19:00-20:30 EDT (UTC-4), “An Instrument Nature Can Play: Data, Sound, and the Work of Imagination in Science” with Greg Niemeyer, Chelle Gentemann, and singer Jewel.

Scientific breakthroughs rarely start with answers. They start when we imagine things we can’t yet see. In this keynote, join singer Jewel as she shares her latest work and how her collaboration with NASA’s data and use of open science come together to show how creativity helps people connect more deeply to their environment by making science more visible, tangible, and participatory.
