Envisioning Science: Felice Frankel, MIT Research Scientist and Photographer
Date: ,
Join MIT research scientist and photographer Felice Frankel for a reception and discussion of her installation, Sidewalk Science. Learn how Frankel creates striking photographs of scientific phenomena, and the vital role that these images play in communicating science to the research community and the public.
Working in collaboration with scientists and engineers, Frankel creates images for journal submissions, presentations, and publications for general audiences. In 2001, she and colleagues organized a groundbreaking conference at MIT, "Image and Meaning, Envisioning and Communicating Science and Technology," an initiative to promote new collaborations among scientists, image experts, and science writers. Frankel has received awards from the Guggenheim Foundation, National Science Foundation, and National Endowment for the Arts, among others. Her book, Envisioning Science, The Design and Craft of the Science Image, is now out in paperback.
Support for this program was provided by the Presidents' Circle Communications Initiative of the National Academies.
