rock _time: FicSci 04

What is science communication? This collection, the fourth in the series, continues to argue that it can be creative writing aimed at the heart, rather than information directed to the mind.

FicSci playfully subverts the term 'science fiction' to off er an experimental process that explores the limits of imagination in relation to scientific possibility (and vice versa). FicSci is an experiment in hybridised creative practice that induces new forms of knowledge-making between the hard sciences and the social world. This collection

off ers writing that emerged from an encounter bringing together creative writers with a geologist working on geochemistry and geochronology.

The presented research invited contemplation of scientific aspects of caves, chronologies and environments associated with human evolution in the Cradle of Humankind. The writings that emerged off er new creative engagements with deep time, rock formation and fossil dating.
