[Mitworld] Felice Frankel's Envisioning Science

[MIT.WORLD]

Hello Friends of MIT World

Go to http://mitworld.mit.edu for the latest addition to MIT World.

Authors at MIT presents renowned science photographer Felice Frankel 
discussing her new book
Envisioning Science: The Design and Craft of the Science Image.

In this visually rich presentation Frankel provides deep background 
on the creation of scientific images and how they are used in major 
journals such as Nature and Science for covers and internal pages. 
She shows many examples of recent journal covers and discusses how 
beautiful imagery can be used to convey complex scientific and 
technological information.

This is the 11th event from authors at MIT on MIT World. See the others 
by using the Video Finder, and choosing "authors at MIT" under All Hosts.

authors at MIT is presented by the MIT Press Bookstore and the MIT 
Libraries. Frankel's talk was also hosted by the Technology and 
Culture Forum at MIT.

Note to our viewers:  With this addition, MIT World will take a brief 
hiatus. The web-weary editorial staff is taking a vacation, as not 
much happens lecture-wise in August.  The web development team, 
however will be doing some site maintenance and some further 
enhancements to the new site and can best do that without having to 
dodge the editorial changes along the way.  With more than 130 videos 
to watch, we encourage you to catch up on some that you missed. Rest 
assured we'll be back in mid-September for the start of our third 
year with new video material including 3 great lectures from Sloan 
Faculty from the "Back to the Classroom" series, and well as a new 
lecture from Steven Pinker as part of a School of Science series on 
the state of neuroscience.  On behalf of everyone here at MIT World, 
we again thank you for your suggestions and feedback on the new site.
See you in September!
