The Italian Renaissance of the fifteenth century represented a vibrant convergence of the arts and the sciences that has shaped the modern era. "Today," observes Adam Bly, editor-in-chief of Seed Magazine (“Science is Culture”), "we are on the cusp of a brand-new scientific renaissance marked by accelerated advancement in neuroscience, theoretical physics, and genetics; a culture war between science and religion; and the application of science as a tool for social change and economic development." He considers what causes provoke this cultural shift, who leads it, and where we go from here.
