The Image and Meaning (IM) events, part of Harvard University's Initiative in Innovative Computing (IIC), began in 2001 by Felice Frankel in MIT's Envisioning Science Project. Our purpose is to help scientists, writers and visual communicators develop and share improved methods of communicating scientific concepts and technical information through images and visual representations. The goal is to enhance the level of discourse within the scientific community, among teachers and students, and those who communicate with the public.
Several conferences and workshops have already been held: June 2001,
June 2005, and IM2.x Workshops.
