On Monday, April 22, the Undergraduate Math Clubs, MAA/UMA, hosted An Evening with Felice Frankel. Frankel presented her work through a slide show entitled:

SCIENCE IMAGING: Creating the Nexus Between Art and Information

Emma Previato, CAS Math, MAA faculty advisor, writes:
We are proud to feature this unusual approach to the language of science and we especially hope to bring about an interdisciplinary experience. Please share in our celebration of Mathematics Awareness Week 1996 (April 21-26). Thank you!
Presentation Description: Felice Frankel is an Artist-in-Residence and Visiting Lecturer (EECS) at MIT, photographing science throughout various laboratories in the research community. Working in collaboration with scientists she is creating images which communicate scientific principles in an accessible way. In 1995, her science images appeared on the covers and insides pages of Science Magazine, Nature, Cellular Biology, Langmuir, Discover, GEO and various MIT publications. She has recently been awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in addition to her grants from the Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts and the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts.

Mathematics Awareness Month is sponsored each year by the Joint Policy Board for Mathematics to recognize the importance of mathematics through written materials and an accompanying poster that highlight mathematical developments and applications in a particular area.
