The registration deadline for the upcoming symposium on scientific visualization in Copenhagen,?Tuesday 25 September and Wednesday 26 September 2012,?is Friday 14 September.
You Need To See This ? Pushing the boundaries of scientific visualization?should be of interest to everyone interested in how science is visualized, especially at the cellular and molecular level, in science, in media and in museums.
The symposium is organised by Rikke Kj?rgaard Schmidt and some of her colleagues at the Interdisciplinary Nanoscience Center, Aarhus University, in cooperation with Medical Museion and Bang Wong at The Broad Institute of MIT & Harvard, and takes place at the The Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters in Copenhagen.
Here?s what it is about:
Scientific visualizations are essential for the processes involved in generating and presenting scientific data. A glance at the most influential scientific journals today immediately shows how fundamentally important scientific visualizations are. Traditionally, art and illustration have played a key role in making scientific graphics. The field of data visualization has vastly grown with computer science, animation and graphic software, advanced art techniques, and information design. New technologies give us far more sophisticated tools to handle graphic design and data analysis.
The symposium explores how connections between art, design and science inspire and advance research, innovation and working processes in scientific data visualization. Speakers will share ideas for and processes of their work in visualization across disciplines. Talks and discussions will address how visual ideas and intentions are transformed by the use of different tools and technologies, how to meet the challenges of cross-discipline collaborations, how to gain and apply inspiration through multidisciplinary processes, and how these processes can enrich both the practice of science and art. The goal of the symposium is to establish best practices for the community to create, perceive and understand visualizations.
Speakers include David Goodsell (The Scripps Research Institute), Colin Ware (University of New Hampshire), Bang Wong (The Broad Institute of MIT & Harvard), Alessia Giardino (Thread Count Lab London), Nik Spencer (Nature), Amanda Cox (The New York Times), Ga?l McGill (Harvard Medical School), Poul Nissen (Aarhus University), S?ren Brunak (Technical University of Denmark), Niels Christian Nielsen (Aarhus University), and Mette H?st (Niels Bohr Institute).
