In this context, POC offer new ways to understand and create novel realities to resist systems of oppression. https://www.poetryofscience.org/our-team daily 0.75 2025-04-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602567de7199794e20d5cab2/1613096066033-ZFI0MG35NGJ9NWJEPHP9/Sarinana-Joshua-through-these-realities.jpg Our Team - Joshua Sariñana Sariñana traces the underlying networks of the brain, and art, in a humanities context. He aims to consolidate and extend the traditional boundaries of these fields to a novel dynamic topology. He obtained his degrees in neuroscience from the University of California, Los Angeles, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, studying dopamine's effects on hippocampal circuit activity, reinforcement learning, and spatial navigation. He uses network theory to navigate and conceptualize his transdisciplinary art, science, and socially engaged projects. Sariñana photography is influenced by Expressionism and emphasizes the transformation of internal representations. His pieces have been exhibited nationally and internationally. Sariñana combines his media communications practice with his neuroscience and art background. He has provided his expertise to WIRED Magazine, MIT Technology Review, and as an invited speaker for the Neurohumanities series at Trinity College in Dublin.

She is currently completing her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design. She remains on the hunt for new ways of seeing, remembering, and altering the world through photography. She is drawn to image-making because of the power it holds to create nuanced representation for marginalized people and uplift their stories. She sees photography as a tool for social justice, and with it she hopes to create worlds that people feel as though they can enter and draw from, as well as provide a look into an experience that they may not personally recognize. Her work has been featured in The Washington Post, NPR, and exhibited at Gallery Kayafas in Boston, MA. https://www.poetryofscience.org/gallery daily 0.75 2024-07-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602567de7199794e20d5cab2/037c2652-9210-4930-bf1c-ccb39dc9c4ec/Sheena.jpg Gallery “Beneath a microscope, among/The most beautiful things/You can see: Yellow protein crystal.
