In science, two cultures synergy refers to synergistic relationships, associations, and interactions between the so-called "hard science" Clausius culture (left brain thinkers), or physical science and engineering culture, and the so-called "soft science" Shakespeare culture (right brain thinkers), or liberal arts and humanities culture, according to which a two cultures bridging interaction effect results, so to speak, resulting in more than the sum of the parts individually.

“Every university should have a Department of Applied Greek and a complementary Department of Humanized Physics, and the benefits of these departments also should be extended as freely as is practicable to those who need them most, that is, to those whose main work is in another field.”
— Edwin Slosson (1910), Great American Universities

Timeline
