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.
