Inspiration is Necessary for both Scientists and Artists
Juniper Tremper

When we sing, we put parts of our body to use in the same manner that we would use muscles to play a sport. Singing, especially over an extended duration of time,  helps us learn to control the parts of our body that produce our singing voices, which are the same parts that allow us to speak. Singing requires noise projection and breath regulation, and in long term cases, heart rate adaptation. As a result of practicing song, then, our improved control over our vocal processes reduce stutters and other speech impediments. All of this is described in the context of relevant scientific experiments in the article “The Therapeutic Effects of Singing in Neurological Disorders.” Several scientific inventions already exist which owe inspiration credit to science fiction literature, and noted with the overlap of the musical art of singing with the science of impaired speech, we can hope that the relationship between science and art thrives, continuing to produce necessary artistic inspiration to scientists, and opportunities for artists to get involved in science.
