There are certianly many technical people who are very appreciative of the arts. Carl Djerassi was a novelist and playwright as well as a very distinguished chemist [1], Stuart Firestein was a theatre director before beginning his career in science [2], and Pietr Hein [3] is famous for his short poems as well as his mathematical pursuits. There are also a large number of medical doctors who are also authors. There's also a short science fiction story at the end of each issue of Nature [4].
