Research images communicate new findings in science. Beyond a functional role in the scientific literature, these images are striking and engaging windows into the natural world. Scientific graphics and images can compel community interest in science, yet rarely reach non-scientific audiences. When they escape the laboratory, research images inspire inquiry and learning in all that they reach. We seek to provide opportunities for research to reach the public and scientists to engage with their communities. Our 2019 exhibit is now on display in the Eugene Airport and you can also see it online.
