Arts infiltrate Science Week

From pee power to plastic-eating mealworms, in Melbourne the arts enter the war on waste.

In Sydney, Arctic art and photography combine to inspire action on climate change.

In Canberra, astrophysics and performance meld to present the universe in four dimensions.

Dozens of interesting arts stories, people and events are taking place around Australia for National Science Week this August, including:

· gravitational waves explained by scientists, sounds, video art and poetry, Adelaide, Melbourne and Canberra

· young artists, music with birdsong, Indigenous science, neuroscience and creativity workshops in Perth

· rocks, minerals, crystals and fossils – artists respond to nature’s art, in Canberra

· the shape of sound and the maths of music, Sydney.
