Two scientists affiliated with the Lowy Medical Research Institute, Dr. Peter Westenskow and Dr. Michael Dorrell, were selected to participate in a public exhibit that showcased the artistic side of science. Dr. Westenskow exhibited an image of the architecture of the retina, taken by electron microscopy. The image was taken in collaboration with Dr. Malcom Wood at The Scripps Research Institute.
