Decoding science

The artwork displays a discussion of scientists that try to extract the general meaning and take home message (right) form their extensive scientific investigation and data points (left). This simplification most commonly also entails translating technical information into lay language. This helps to engage broader audiences with novel insights, while it allows scientists to take a step back, in order to see the study in a bigger picture and identify its impact on society as a whole.
