How do scientists use new kinds of imagery to show what they know?

Images like brain scans and botanical illustrations are central to scientific practice. But today, accessible technologies can create lifelike algorithmically generated images – photo-like pictures made through the manipulation of digital data.

Show and Tell investigates the ways that we use new kinds of imagery to show what we know, and how we go about the work of convincing others to know it themselves. Click here to learn more!
