assumed guilty

If you understand a process, people will assume that you have some responsability for it as well.

art and science

Collaboration between artists and scientists has always been a difficult. The problem was never the scientists. For the most part, in my experience at least, the problem was with the artists. What both are trying to show is what they perceive to be truth, but artistic truth is very different from scientific truth, and therein lies the problem. I've always like scientifc images, but to me, they almost never had any artistic merit. Something was lacking, and it wasn't aestetics.

Some scientists create beautiful, excuse me, MEANINGFUL, images, and MIT was kind enough to post them.
