The UC San Diego Library is partnering with San Diego Natural History Museum on an exhibit celebrating the intersection of art and science.
"These are images that come from the center for microscopy on campus," Pennington said."There are tens of thousands of them, and so we've been ingesting them over time. And once they're in the repository, I review all the images, and I get to discover the amazing things that go on. And they are beautiful. I mean, at first, you don't know what you're looking at, and then you read that it's some bacterium with a certain type of dye injected into it.
"I think this is a great partnership because they do this every day," Pennington said."They take science and they make it understandable, accessible to the average visitor. And that's what we want to do, is provide opportunities for researchers to explain their research in a way that viewers can understand it.
