Her research explores technique and practice within the artist&#8217;s studio, the history of the print as a medium for art and communication, and the connections between art and emerging natural science. Her last book, <em>Painted Alchemists: Early Modern Artistry and Experiment in the Work of Thomas Wijck<\/em> (Amsterdam University Press, 2019) explored the ways in which Dutch painters used curiosity about science and alchemy to shape their own artistic personas as transformative creators and &#8220;masters of nature.&#8221; She has also recently contributed a chapter on the representation of science within art, theater, and literature for the reference volume <em>A Cultural History of Chemistry in the Early Modern Age<\/em> (editor Bruce T. Moran, Bloomsbury Academic, 2022).<\/p>\n<p>In addition to her research, Elisabeth has worked as a curator and museum director, producing exhibitions on art, science, and material culture. Recent projects include <em>The Story of Ramie<\/em> (Science History Institute, 2024), <em>BOLD: Color from Test Tube to Textile<\/em> (Science History Institute, 2023-24), Centennial Explorations (Please Touch Museum, 2021), <em>Age of Alchemy<\/em> (Science History Institute, 2018-2020), and <em>Things Fall Apart<\/em> (Science History Institute, 2017-2018). She is the winner of multiple awards for excellence in exhibition practice, including a 2018 American Alliance of Museums Award and a 2021 Grand Jury Prize from the Preservation Alliance for Greater Philadelphia.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-tabs fusion-tabs-1 clean vertical-tabs icon-position-left\"><style type=\"text\/css\">#wrapper .fusion-tabs.fusion-tabs-1.clean .nav-tabs li a.tab-link{border-color:rgba(181,159,135,0.25);}.fusion-tabs.fusion-tabs-1 .nav-tabs li a.tab-link{background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0.1);}.fusion-tabs.fusion-tabs-1 .nav-tabs li.active a.tab-link,.fusion-tabs.fusion-tabs-1 .nav-tabs li.active a.tab-link:hover,.fusion-tabs.fusion-tabs-1 .nav-tabs li.active a.tab-link:focus{background-color:rgba(181,159,135,0.25);}.fusion-tabs.fusion-tabs-1 .nav-tabs li a:hover{background-color:rgba(181,159,135,0.25);border-top-color:rgba(181,159,135,0.25);}.fusion-tabs.fusion-tabs-1 .tab-pane{background-color:rgba(181,159,135,0.25);}.fusion-tabs.fusion-tabs-1 .nav,.fusion-tabs.fusion-tabs-1 .nav-tabs,.fusion-tabs.fusion-tabs-1 .tab-content .tab-pane{border-color:rgba(181,159,135,0.25);}<\/style><div class=\"nav\"><ul class=\"nav-tabs\" role=\"tablist\"><li class=\"active\"><a class=\"tab-link\" data-toggle=\"tab\" role=\"tab\" aria-controls=\"tab-7e2ea4d216eceb7bb31\" aria-selected=\"true\" id=\"fusion-tab-areasofexpertise\" href=\"#tab-7e2ea4d216eceb7bb31\"><h4 class=\"fusion-tab-heading\"><i class=\"fontawesome-icon fa-star fas\" aria-hidden=\"true\" style=\"font-size:22px;\"><\/i>Areas of Expertise<\/h4><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"tab-content\"><div class=\"nav fusion-mobile-tab-nav\"><ul class=\"nav-tabs\"><li class=\"active\"><a class=\"tab-link\" data-toggle=\"tab\" role=\"tab\" aria-controls=\"tab-7e2ea4d216eceb7bb31\" aria-selected=\"true\" id=\"mobile-fusion-tab-areasofexpertise\" href=\"#tab-7e2ea4d216eceb7bb31\"><h4 class=\"fusion-tab-heading\"><i class=\"fontawesome-icon fa-star fas\" aria-hidden=\"true\" style=\"font-size:22px;\"><\/i>Areas of Expertise<\/h4><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"tab-pane fade fusion-clearfix in active\" role=\"tabpanel\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-labelledby=\"fusion-tab-areasofexpertise\" id=\"tab-7e2ea4d216eceb7bb31\">\n<p><strong>Early modern European art<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-4 fusion_builder_column_1_3 1_3 fusion-one-third fusion-column-last\" style=\"width:33.333333333333%;width:calc(33.333333333333% -
