Design and Science: More Than a Pretty Picture
Description
Many people think of science as abstract and numerical. But science is a remarkably visual endeavor. Design plays an important role in science communication, but it’s more than just creating pretty pictures. This panel aims to be your guide to the creative side of discovery and the new approaches to communicating science through visual expression. We’ll show examples of successful design and less-than-successful design, and explore and how designers and scientists can work together to communicate through an engaging and accessible language.
