Image Awards 2020

Join us on September 22 & 24 for a two-part virtual celebration of 2020 Visions, the tenth annual Image Awards exhibition. Celebrating biological beauty and transformative technologies, this year’s displays embrace a variety of visualization techniques to examine the inner workings of microscopic communities and human health. Over the course of two "lunch & learn" webinars, image creators shared the science and stories behind their award-winning visuals, now on display in the Koch Institute Public Galleries. Each session included five "lightning talks" along with participant questions and conversation about the winning images. Watch the recordings above to dive into natural and engineered systems and discover how scientific exploration and technological innovation are reshaping our vision of the world around us...and the future that is yet to come.
