"More than Pretty Pictures:
The Power of Images in Science"
Felice Frankel
Senior Research Fellow in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at Harvard University
with
Geoffrey B. West
President and Distinguished Professor, Santa Fe Institute
Visual communication tends to transcend barriers of linguistic facility and
educational background; it attracts and communicates where other methods
intimidate. However, while visual representations now appear widely in science
and engineering and are having a profound impact on how we talk to each other,
many attempts to visually communicate science are confusing rather than
clarifying. Just as writing a science article encourages one to create an order
of comprehension, so it is with the visual expression of scientific concepts. By
exploring the process of making images all sorts, this talk will encourage
scientists and introduce the non-scientist to the power of visually thinking and
expressing science.
