<" I'd suggest imagination and poetry and song and dreaming and creativity.">
Scientists can possess all of these attributes. E=MC2 is imagination. The hydrologic cycle or ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny is a kind of poetry. Newton's "Apple" and Einstein's discoveries were dreams and creativity.
There has been too much of a dichotomy between science and art.
The Germanic use of the word science means a comprehensive study of any subject whether music, art, math, biology or physics.
