>[!INFO] ValueofCraft:: [[Scientific value of craft]] ### Outline Craft skills play an important role in a range of scientific activities. This includes the making of equipment such as glass vessels, delicate laboratory processes such as assays and the construction of models. Craft has been particularly critical in the historical development of technologies, including computers, which originate from weaving techniques such as Jacquard. Custom-made glassware is important for laboratory work. Scientists at Cornell University draw on the services of a local glass-blower Mark Termini. ### References %% DATAVIEW_PUBLISHER: start ```dataview list summary from [[Claim - There is craft in laboratory and other scientific work]] where contains(file.path,"Warp") ``` %% - [[Warp/Craft in America - Episode - Science.md|Craft in America - Episode - Science]]: A Craft in America episode on science in craft, including origami, communication of science change - [[Warp/Craft in the Laboratory.md|Craft in the Laboratory]]: Craftspeople use advanced science and technology in their work. - [[Warp/Glass Blower Crafts Intricate Creations for Cornell Scientists.md|Glass Blower Crafts Intricate Creations for Cornell Scientists]]: Custom-made glassware by Karl Termini provides important equipment to scientists at Cornell University - [[Warp/That Time When Computer Memory Was Handwoven by Women.md|That Time When Computer Memory Was Handwoven by Women]]: The early computers required fine hand skills of women to weave binary circuits - [[Warp/The Art and Craft of Science.md|The Art and Craft of Science]]: Nobel Prize winners are 15-25 times more likely to engage as an adult in arts and crafts.
