Inside the Image
How scientists see the world
Welcome to Inside the Image, a celebration of the visual expression of
science. University of California Berkeley biologist Angela DePace and I
will be contributing regularly to this column devoted to the exciting
and fascinating world of scientific discovery and how images made in
laboratories and publications in science advance our understanding of
the world around us.
Each installment will highlight specially selected representations
(photographs, illustrations, diagrams, animations, etc.) made by
researchers from all disciplines and others who work with various forms
of visual communication of scientific phenomena. There will be
interviews with those involved with specific representations to further
our understanding of the scientific meaning of the image with insights
into new processes, methodologies, and technologies.
Angela and I are both deeply involved in the visual expression of
science and we are committed to encouraging both the scientist and
non-scientist to understand its importance. This column is not just
about pretty pictures, although we certainly believe that a stunningly
beautiful picture in science can be just that, as well as highly
informational and inspirational.
So much of scientific advancement is all about seeing. With this new
endeavor, we invite you to become as mesmerized as we with the wondrous
phenomena we can learn from the visual expression of science.
