Bliver vi klogere af danske naturvidenskabs-, teknologi- og medicinkanoner?

Her er et manuskript til et temanummer om naturvidenskabelig kanon til tidskriften BioZoom, vol. 9, nr 1, april 2006. Synspunkter modtages gerne: min dead-line er lørdag den 25. marts(25. marts: er sendt ind med nogle mindre rettelser, tak Sniff!):

Visualization of … II

The array and variety of visualizations in postgenomics are seemingly unlimited. Here’s a subset of Marc Vidal’s research group’s preliminary map of the human interactome, originally published in Nature, vol. 437, pp. 1173-78 (2005).

Mining the human genome

The so called I-space is a virtual reality system for clinical and research applications. It's a physical room where three-dimensional models can be performed so that one can almost literally enter the heart or, as seen in the picture, the human genome. The I-space has recently been installed at the Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam. See http://www.erasmusmc.nl/bioinformatics/home/index.php?content=virtual

Visualization of …

Just a spontaneous spin-off thought inspired by Susanne’s project on the visualization of epidemiology — I fell across the Information Aesthetics blog with the subtitle “form follows data – towards creative information visualization”. I like the range of creative possibilities, e.g. this pic:

“an interactive photo mosaic of a graphical icon or logo made up of hundreds of relevant website screenshots, demonstrating the concept ‘a picture is worth a thousand websites’”.
(see the original interactive collage at urlyart.com).
Would this interactive visualization make sense in the popular understanding of epidemiology?
