This award will support a workshop organized by Felice Frankel from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on "Expanding Visual Thinking and Communications in the Sciences." The workshop will be held at the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, California, June 23-25, 2005, and will bring together (1) scientists wishing to communicate complex concepts more effectively than can be done with words alone; (2) teachers of science at all levels trying to reach as many elements of an increasingly diverse population of students as possible; (3) researchers trying to find patterns of meaning in quantities of data, and; (4) professional communicators of science, looking for new ways to accomplish their mission. Dissemination of the workshop results will be accomplished with a series of smaller workshops held at different geographic locations around the country, development of a "Visual Thinking and Communications in the Sciences" website, and publication of a book based on the material covered during the workshop. The Office of Multidisciplinary Activities in the Mathematics and Physical Sciences Directorate funds this award.

该奖项将支持由马萨诸塞州理工学院的Felice Frankel组织的关于“扩大科学中的视觉思维和交流”的研讨会。“讲习班将于2005年6月23日至25日在加州洛杉矶的盖蒂博物馆举行，将汇集（1）希望比单纯的文字更有效地交流复杂概念的科学家;（2）各级科学教师，他们试图接触到日益多样化的学生群体中尽可能多的元素;（3）研究人员试图在大量的数据中找到意义的模式;（4）科学的专业传播者，寻找新的方法来完成他们的使命。讲习班成果的传播将通过在全国各地举办一系列小型讲习班、开发一个“科学中的视觉思维和交流”网站以及出版一本以讲习班期间所涉及的材料为基础的书来完成。数学和物理科学局多学科活动办公室为该奖项提供资金。
