          Abstract

          The practice and theory of science communication can take many forms. One of them, which this volume represents, explores what forms of knowledge might be constructed when creative writing encounters science.

          Working outwards from a theoretical framework that sees the sciences as discourses constructed by human endeavour through forms of language and practices of authority, this collection offers writing that emerged from a scientific encounter. It explores the relationship between creativity and scientific experiment, between the languages deployed by scientists in their experiments and analyses and the languages forged by creatives in their ongoing efforts to understand the human condition.

          FicSci 01 brought eleven creative writers together with a biomechanical engineer. Thepresented science invited creative enquiry into different aspects of flow, that physicalproperty that is so central to research in fluid mechanics. This anthology collects the resultsof that encounter.
