Krasnow PI, Paul So, is of course multi-talented. And he’s the leading exemplar of at the Institute of a cadre of researchers who are also serious artists. His new art gallery (appropriately named Hamiltonian) will open soon on U. St. NW, one of the most culturally active neighborhoods in the City. Paul was recently featured in the Washington Business Journal for his efforts in the arts field.
But considering Krasnow’s relatively small size, there are a surprisingly large number of PI artists. Layne Kalbfleisch has exhibited her beautiful photographs both at the Institute and around the DC area. Ernest Barreto is a world-champion whistler, who has been featured in a recent film, Pucker Up. And Giorgio Ascoli is pursuing a lab-wide initiative to build sculptures of brain neurons.
