I had worked with scientists Cleva Ow Yang and Ayşe Turak on creating better visual communication of their research in the second Image of Science workshop in July 2011 but have been holding off sharing the outputs, waiting for them to publish their research. This is their manuscript in Nano Letters (one of the highest ranked journals in materials science), including more visuals that we produced together, and below is a piece that I’m quite proud of.
I recently put the outputs of Image of Science 2010 on my website, and I’m happy to announce that the second workshop is happening between July 11–15 in Sabancı University, this time open to outside participation. Image of Science seeks to bring researchers and designers together in order to depict complex research methodologies and findings. This is the formal announcement:
Sabanci University’s interest in supporting research output has been one of the primary initiatives of Image of Science, which will now run its second season July 11–15 on campus. Image of Science is a university wide collaboration organized by visiting faculty Gokhan Ersan (School of the Art Institute of Chicago), Melih Papila (FENS), VAVCD teaching assistants, and Nancy Karabeyoglu (SUWC).
Image of Science seeks to familiarize researchers with design tools that can comprehensively depict complex research methodologies and findings.
This year’s week long program of workshops and design tutorials focuses on creating interactive slide shows and presentations of completed or ongoing research. Two days of workshops on implementing design strategies open the program; three days of design work to produce interactive slide shows/presentation of selected submissions follow. All are welcome.
If you have a visual image of a particular ongoing/completed research project and/or would like to learn more of design’s ability to serve as a powerful information source, please consider attending either the workshops or design production; both are free.
The links below are the formal invitation to Image of Science.
