    Biological Illustration: Kekkon6 localization and biological pacemakers A Major Qualifying Project Report Submitted to the Faculty of WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science In Interdisciplinary Biological Illustration By Daniel Valerio October 25, 2012 APPROVED BY: Jill Rulfs, PhD Biology WPI Major and Academic Advisor Abstract Illustrations have helped mankind understand the world we inhabit since antiquity. Today biological illustration helps us to understand the biological world. This project demonstrates my abilities as an artist and knowledge as a scientist. As biological illustrator, I have done this by illustrating for two projects. One pertains to localization of Kekkon6, a transmembrane protein, in Drosophila melanogaster. The other relates to developing biological pacemakers with the use of stem cell implants. Acknowledgements I first would like to thank Jill Rulfs, my academic advisor and head of the committee of professors supporting my interdisciplinary individually created Biological Illustration major. Thank you for guiding me through my time here at WPI. And for encouraging me to embrace my passion for biology and the arts with the realization of this Biological Illustration major. And thank you for your endless help and support pertaining to this MQP. I would also like to thank Joe Duffy and Glenn Gaudette for extending interest in my MQP proposal and allowing me to work with you.

  • Art and Science in Visualization Victoria Interrante
    Art and Science in Visualization Victoria Interrante 1 Introduction Visualization research and development involves the design, implementation and evaluation of techniques for creating images that facilitate the understanding of a set of data. The first step in this process, visualization design, involves defining an appropriate representational approach, determining the vision of what one wants to achieve. Implementation involves deriving the methods necessary to realize the intended results – developing the algorithms required to create the desired visual representation. Evaluation, or the objective assessment of the impact of specific characteristics of the visualization on application-relevant task performance, is useful not only to quantify the usefulness of a particular technique but, more powerfully, to provide insight into the means by which a technique achieves its success, thus contributing to the foundation of knowledge upon which we can draw to create yet more effective visualizations in the future. In this chapter, I will discuss the art and science of visualization design and evaluation, illustrated with case study examples from my research. For each application, I will describe how inspiration from art and insight from visual perception can provide guidance for the development of promising approaches to the targeted visualization problems. As appropriate I will include relevant details of the algorithms developed to achieve the referenced implementations, and where studies have been done, I will discuss their findings and the implications for future directions of work. 1.1 Seeking Inspiration for Visualization from Art and Design Visualization design, from the creation of specific effective visual representations for particular sets of data to the conceptualization of new, more effective paradigms for information representation in general, is a process that has the characteristics of both an art and a science.

Cândido de Sousa 15, 4710-300 Braga, DOI: https://doi.org/10.22271/veterinary.2021.v6.i3a.357 Portugal Abstract The importance of illustration in veterinary is usually overshadowed by its use in human medicine and forget. Nonetheless, it is important to recognize the importance of illustration in the development of veterinarian, as this is also a profession based on observation. Through history there are several examples of how illustration help to increase and share the knowledge in veterinary sciences. There is no doubt that illustration is an important tool in learning. That makes scientific illustration an important and irreplaceable tool, since they have the ability of takes scientific concepts, from the simplest to the complex, and bring it to life in an attractive and simplified way. Keywords: art, science, scientific illustration, veterinary medicine Introduction Biological illustration, has many branches being one of the medical illustrations. It is a form of illustration that helps to record and disseminate knowledge regarding medicine (e.g., anatomy, [1, 2] virology) . Usually, medical illustration is associated with human medicine, with the great anatomical illustrations of Da Vinci and Andreas Vesalius coming to mind [3, 4], but illustration also has an important role in veterinary medicine. Maybe, illustration has been used longer in veterinary than in human medicine but never is referenced its importance [3].

  • Anatomical Illustration Is Positioned at the Point Where Science Meets
    Author: Nina Czegledy Description of Academic Affiliations: KMDI, University of Toronto Studio Arts, Concordia University, Montreal Moholy Nagy University of Art and Design Women at the threshold of art and medicine Key words: anatomical art, pioneer women, education, bio-medical tools In the beginning of the 20th century faith in progress and scientific discovery had a principal influence on scientists and artists. Revolutionary discoveries appeared in the sciences and in the arts a new awareness of a deep rootedness in nature and its processes became evident (1). As a result a conviction that a scientific spirit forms part of a new synthesis emerged in various disciplines (2) including a renewed interest and re-evaluation of scientific visualization (3). Scores of scientific discoveries, radical art activities and numerous technological inventions that we take for granted today, were drafted in this period. While major scientific discoveries such as the theory of quantum physics and the theory of relativity are dating from the first decade of the twentieth century – innovation and change was felt across all domains from economics to socio-political structures - including the first wave of feminism (4). Nevertheless it took decades to press forward for equal professional opportunities for women and even today a century later major discrepancies remain in vital professions. Key medical advances originating from Canada included the world’s first mobile transfusion unit developed Norman Bethune, Wilder Penfield’s surgical treatment of epilepsy in Montreal and most importantly the discovery of Insulin by Nobel prize winners Frederick Banting, Charles Best, JB Clip and JJR Macleod at the University of Toronto (5).

  • The Intersection of Arts and Sciences
    The Intersection of Arts and Sciences September 11th, 2012 Written by Elyssa Monzack, Postdoc at NIDCD, FelCom Career Development Subcommittee, with contributions from Pabak Sarkar, Postdoc at NIAAA, FelCom Career Development Subcommittee Felcom’s Career Development Seminar, “The Intersection of Arts and Sciences,” offered an opportunity for NIH Fellows to learn how to blend an interest in the arts with a scientific background from experts who have utilized their scientific skills to produce, render, explain and restore art. The first speaker was Mr. Wyatt Channell, who is a Senior Producer at Science Channel (part of Discovery Communications). Mr. Channell, who has a B.A. in English from the University of Maryland-College Park, began by noting that colleagues with Ph.D.s are scarce in the television industry, where being a compelling storyteller and communicating ideas in the most engaging way possible are the most valued qualities. Mr. Channell says that although he may not understand all the science, he understands enough to determine how to present scientific ideas to a general audience. To ensure factual accuracy, Discovery relies on the outside companies with which they work and contract to produce and ensure accuracy of the content, using vetted experts. Overall, Mr. Channell views his work not as artistry, but rather, the development of a commercial product to be consumed. The artistic component, he said, exists in presenting science and creating a story that is engaging and entertaining as well as informative. It came as a surprise to many in the audience that television networks like Discovery do not create their scientific programs in-house.

  • Ernst Heinrich Philipp August Haeckel 16 Feburary 1834 to 09 August 1919
    ARTICLE-IN-A-BOX Ernst Heinrich Philipp August Haeckel 16 Feburary 1834 to 09 August 1919 Ernst Haeckel was born in Potsdam (near Berlin), the residence of the Prussian kings in the period preceding the unification of Germany in 1871. His family was highly educated: his father, Karl, was a jurist by training and served in the Prussian court, his mother, Charlotte, was the daughter of a well-known jurist, and his elder brother, Karl, too, was a lawyer. One year after his birth, Haeckel’s family moved from Potsdam to Merseburg, then the capital of Saxony, about 170 km to the south-west of Potsdam. His father was in charge of schools and ecclesiastical affairs at Merseburg, and Haeckel spent the next seventeen years in this relatively small town. At home, the young Ernst benefited from an intellectually rich atmosphere. His father was very fond of philosophy, natural sciences, geology, and travelogues, and often dis- cussed these interests with him. His mother was a great admirer of classical German poetry, especially that of Goethe and Schiller, and instilled a love for poetry in her son that he main- tained throughout his life. He also developed an early passion for sketching and painting, and by his teens, was a fairly proficient artist. His tutor, Karl Gude, introduced him to a wide array of themes in biology ranging from Linnaean classification to the quasi-evolutionary specula- tions of the comparative morphologist Lorenz Oken. In particular, Haeckel read and recalled being greatly inspired by the travelogues written by Alexander von Humboldt and Charles Dar- win (The Voyage of the Beagle, in German translation), as well as Matthias Jakob Schleiden’s book on plants and their life.

Historically, its roots were fully evident by the Renaissance, as seen in the work of research anatomists and educators such as Andreas Vesalius and in the artwork of the great figurative artists such as Leonardo DaVinci.
