The Visualizing Science Project seeks to bring together teams of outstanding University of Idaho artists, designers and scientists to create visual interpretations of scientific issues important to the state, region and world. The interdisciplinary project will create relationships between scholars who don’t traditionally collaborate to build foundations for continued growth and future projects suitable for grant funding. From climate change to fire science, University of Idaho scientists are on the cutting edge of scientific discovery. Likewise, University of Idaho artists and designers are exhibiting their work in a wide variety of media on the international stage.
