The chemical feedback from stellar winds in low metallicity (Z) environments is key to understanding the evolution of globular clusters and the early Universe. With a disproportionate amount of mass lost from the most massive stars (M > 100 M_⊙) and an excess of such stars expected at the lowest metallicities, their contribution to the enrichment of the early pristine clusters could be significant. In this work, we examine the effect of mass loss at low metallicity on the nucleosynthesis and wind yields of (very) massive stars. We calculated stellar models with initial masses ranging from 30 to 500 M_⊙during core hydrogen and helium burning phases at four metallicities ranging from 20% Z_⊙down to 1% Z_⊙. We provide the ejected masses and net yields for each grid of models. While mass-loss rates decrease withZ, we find that not only are wind yields significant, but the nucleosynthesis is also altered due to the change in central temperatures, and therefore it also plays a role. We find that 80–300 M_⊙models can produce large quantities of Na-rich and O-poor material, which is relevant for the observed Na-O anti-correlation in globular clusters. 

Living organisms and their biological properties, including the capacity for transformation and representation of information, offer exciting and inspiring opportunities for transdisciplinary art and design explorations. While an emerging body of work is increasingly investigating the possibilities at the intersection of interactive computing, biology, and art, more work is needed to investigate the potential of these approaches for supporting community and public engagement and participation in art, science, and technology. In this project, we describe a multimedia transdisciplinary bioart installation and hands-on agar art activity that we presented to members of the public in a community biology lab setting. Using short interviews, observations, and questionaries, we investigated attendees' reactions and impressions of the experience and found that the event generated transdisciplinary reflections, invited participants to bring their previous knowledge and experience to bear in engaging with different aspects of the work, and that the audience benefited from contextualization by artists.
