AAAS Forum Presentation, Sept 18, 2018
In conjunction with the GNSI 50th anniversary exhibit “Visualize: Art Revealing Science” that was on display at the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) gallery, it was a well-attended event that gave all the panelists an opportunity to talk about their careers and about visual science communication at large. It was streamed on Facebook live and the video can be accessed here. (The sound start out bad and gets better.)
The colloquium was reported by Juwon Song from the AAAS Office of Public Programs and you can read the article here.
