AMI Members Win Awards in NSF "SciViz" Challenge

For the past 9 years, the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the journal Science have co-sponsored a contest to identify top visualizations of scientific subject matter. The goal is to promote cutting-edge visualizations of scientific data, principles, and ideas. The 2011 International Science and Engineering Visualization Challenge received 200+ submissions in five categories. These were judged on visual impact, effective communication, and freshness/originality. New this year, the “People’s Choice” voting allowed the public to cast votes for their favorite entries. Congratulations to our AMI members who won awards this year:
