Interview with Felice Frankel

By clock on November 21, 2009.

Listen to Nature EdCast podcast about No Small Matter and Picturing to Learn:

In today's podcast Ilona interviews Felice Frankel, a Senior Research Fellow at Harvard and a Research Scientist at MIT. Felice is a photographer who is keenly interested in visual communication of complex concepts. To that end, she has written three books about the subject. Felice's recent effort to bring visual representation of science concepts into education culminated in the NSF-funded Picturing to Learn project. Her most recent book, No Small Matter, written with George Whitesides, illustrates nanoscience with metaphor. Listen to this podcast to hear about how creating visual representations of science can change the way science is taught. A full transcript of the podcast is below. [19:23]

Felice will be at ScienceOnline2010, leading a session on Art and Science: Visual Metaphors. Her book, No Small Matter, arrived the other day and Bride Of Coturnix and I were oohing and aahing over it - it is beautiful and brilliant.
