NCSA: Navigating Cancer with Science and art
NCSA develops and supports collaborations between professional artists and scientists that empower multidisciplinary approaches to the discovery of novel ways to communicate cancer to diverse communities.
NCSA has its origins at the Arizona Cancer Evolution Center where Pamela Winfrey developed an exciting series of projects collecting titled "The C-Word."
Our members are made up of professional artists, scientists, and researchers who are eager to create projects with people outside of their own disciplines.
