科学コミュニケーションの乗数としての芸術

Clinical and translational science faces persistent challenges in public trust, effective communication, and siloed knowledge structures. Addressing these issues requires innovative educational and engagement strategies. We present an artist-in-residency program immersed into an undergraduate pathway program to integrate artwork as a tool to enhance science communication, foster public engagement, and build a resilient translational science workforce. Through structured art-science-community interactions, this initiative demonstrates how artistic practice builds a new collaborative communication framework for linking early-career scientists, clinical translational research faculty, and the broader community. The conceptual novelty of our science-art initiative promises to break communication barriers, increase public trust, and develop new, accessible science narratives.
