When Dr. Sweeney mentioned her background in science, I thought about the national campaign for the arts. Others have been calling for the narrative around science, technology, engineering and mathematics, STEM, to embrace the arts and for the acronym to become STEAM. Does Dr. Sweeney have an opinion on that narrative of the Government based on her background in science? Does she have a view on the positive outcomes that could emerge from the inclusion of arts in the Government narrative?
