Dear microscopists, several of you are already involved in this and know about the BEAUTIFUL SCIENCE initiative, an initiative started by some Imperial College postdocs, and now involving a range of scientists and artists. As microscopists, certainly all of you will have some interest in the beautiful aspects of science. So please see below the information about the exhibition and the DISCUSSION TODAY. Sorry for the late notice, last week was just completely taken up by the opening of our Hammersmith Campus branch and the Facility Showcase. I hope many of you can still make it, hopefully see you there.
