Visualizing Science Writing

摘要

Science writing is an aspect of Technical Communication which tends to be overlooked. Traditionally, science writing includes images that, while effective, tend to merely act as points of reference for scientists already in the field. Art in Science has the potnetial to spark reader itnerest, facilitate learning, develop public awareness of hte sciences and to make science writing accessible to readers with little or no scientific background. As a profession, scientific and technical writing needs to consider the implicatiosn and possibilities for art and images in the sciences, as well as learning to effectively incorporate them into science writing.
