A Recent Study of Nobel Laureates1,2 Found They Are: • twenty-five times as likely as average scientist to sing, dance, or act; • seventeen times as likely to be an artist; • twelve times more likely to write poetry and literature; • eight times more likely to do woodworking or some other craft; • four times as likely to be a musician; • and twice as likely to be a photographer. Many connect their art with their scientific creativity. 1The
