Showing the unseen

Throughout history, drawings have been used to understand, document, and communicate the natural world around us.

Images have played a critical role in the advancement of science and medicine.

Today researchers work at the molecular level and generate an unprecedented amount of data.

The challenge is to benefit from this deluge of information without being overwhelmed.

Visual representation of data offers insights that can lead to new understanding, whether the purpose is analysis or communication.

The presentation will show how art, design, and the traditional approach of illustration enables scientific discovery.

Bang Wong is the creative director of the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard and an adjunct assistant professor at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine
