Ooo, mami! Thanks to everyone who came out to our study break-workshop- we had an amazing time eating umami-infused foods like seaweed, homemade tofu soup, Bonchon, while learning about the history and science behind the “fifth taste" with JASU!

In 1.5 hours, we traded 64 succulent plants for a whole table of random things! Here is a time-lapse video:

Some have asked what’s the meaning of the event, to which I will answer, nothing! We do wish to promote STEM+Art on campus, encourage the use of succulents to create arts, and inspire some new ideas! But people come for the succulents not hearing our pitch, so we just wish to bring these cute little creatures to Yalies and generate more happiness 🙂 and it satisfies our curiosity to see, what we ended up getting.

Thank you all for those participated today to make this happen! If this inspired you for any new ideas or you have other fun event ideas, tell Yale STEAM!

"Therein lies the significance of learning through art: It is subtle and indirect, yet it ingrains insights deep within your consciousness. You feel and know even before you can think or speak." -DHRUV KHULLAR, M.D.

Art can help physicians become more thoughtful and meticulous observers — a skill that lays the foundation for good medicine.

"While these passionate individuals have a natural interest in the science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) fields, it’s their hard work and dedication that has pushed them to succeed in making a name for themselves ― all before reaching the age of 20."
