Diversity in Science

Designer: Sherman Parnell

Public Art Gallery

ArtWorks was commissioned to produce a permanent public mural on an exterior retaining wall at the Thermo Fisher Scientific campus. 

This colorful mural conveys the themes of togetherness, diversity, equity, and inclusion, science, and sustainability. The art is displayed on 9 different panels, spanning 7 feet tall and 36 feet wide. The team at Thermo Fisher’s vision was to include women and minority groups from its history not frequently represented.

The mural includes images of Patricia Bath, Gertrude Elion, Percy Julian, Har Gobind Khorana, Severo Ochoa and Flossie Wong-Staal. This impressive group represents research on cancer, DNA, organ transplants and AIDS.
