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.

Good - and beautiful - imaging,

Martin

Scientific discoveries are portrayed in many different forms in the media, but the work scientists carry out every day to produce the key building blocks to discovery is rarely shown.

We are a group of biomedical scientists who are working with artists so that we can share our unseen scientific work with you.

Click on our images below to follow the progress of the artists’ projects as they work with us to explore and interpret our scientific data.
