Ha ha ha.
Confirmed for not reading scientific literature or anything that has to do with science.

>I think the relationship between science and art is best described in words of the French polymath and philosopher of science Jules Henri Poincare: “The scientist does not study nature because it is useful; he studies it because he delights in it, and he delights in it because it is beautiful”. Many scientists share that appreciation of beauty and are fully aware of the aesthetic aspects of their research. The marriage of scientific approach and artistic talent can be best exemplified by awe-inspiring work by Ernst Haeckel, whose “Artforms from Nature” is a continuous source of inspiration for me.
