"Some of science’s most powerful statements are not made in words. From the diagrams of DaVinci to Hooke’s microscopic bestiary, the beaks of Darwin’s finches, Rosalind Franklin’s x-rays or the latest photographic marvels retrieved from the remotest galactic outback, visualization of research has a long and literally illustrious history. To illustrate is, etymologically and actually, to enlighten," written in the web page.

This again demonstrates the importance of the combination of science and artistic visualization. It not only further the development of scientific study, but also make the difficult concept tangible to the crowd and serve for educational purposes.
