Dear Colleagues,

Please find details below of an upcoming symposium that you may be interested in: You Need To See This -- Pushing the boundaries of scientific visualization. Would you be so kind as to circulate this information to all individuals who may be interested? Thanks in advance for your assistance with this.

You Need To See This -- Pushing the boundaries of scientific visualization 
Tuesday 25 September - Wednesday 26 September 2012
The Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters, H.C. Andersens Boulevard 35, DK-1553 Copenhagen V, Denmark.

Scientific visualizations are essential for the processes involved in generating and presenting scientific data. This 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.

Speakers: 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), Gaël McGill (Harvard Medical School), Poul Nissen (Aarhus University), Søren Brunak (Technical University of Denmark), Niels Christian Nielsen (Aarhus University), and Mette Høst (Niels Bohr Institute).
