Creativity in Synesthesia, Biology, and Medicine

In this Super Bowl episode of the Creativity Insights podcast, Sophie and Mackenzie discuss heightened creativity among synesthetes, and also examples of creative expression in biology and medicine. Syn- denotes together, and -esthesis means perception, so the full definition of the word suggests "human perceptions that are mushed together." Creative outlets for biologists and physicians often involve nature. Chemists are known to enjoy baking, cooking, and beer-making. Orthopedic surgeons gravitate towards hands-on building tasks.
