Summary of themes from March 2015 TxHATS in Austin: 

Art-science professionals from many different disciplines want to find a way to talk about collaboration, to see where their interests and ideas intersect. To get to the heart of the matter, TxHATS decided to do some sticky note mind mapping – organizing their thoughts on sticky notes on the windows of the conference room. Below are some of the themes that emerged from their “sticky-noting,” a colorful glimpse of their March brainstorming session at Umlauf Sculpture Garden in Austin, TX.
