Mississippi Flooding_USGS 06162011.jpg
The Landsat 5 satellite Thematic Mapper captured this image of Mississippi flooding on June 11, 2011. In this false-color image, water is navy blue. Depending on land use, land above water is green or burnt orange. The image is rotated, with the left sides facing north.

Wallow North Fire-Arizina_NASA 06152011.jpg
This Landsat 5 satellite image of the Wallow North Fire in east central Arizona was taken on June 15, 2011 at 19:54:23 Zulu (3:54 p.m. EDT). This false-colored image uses a 7, 4, 2 band combination and shows the burn scar in red the fire ongoing in really bright red, vegetation is green, smoke is blue and bare ground is tan.

A "Science" Perspective by Assistant Professor James Evans and Post-doctural scholar Jacob Foster, both of the University of Chicago, argues that electronically-mined research may lead to future scientific breakthroughs. The computational production and consumption of metaknowledge--the knowledge about knowledge itself--can uncover potential biases inherent in research, as well as information on the backgrounds and previous work of researchers in order to learn more about content, implications and context.

The practice of science depends on the availability, and reliability, of a wide spectrum of tools. We are familiar with Petri dishes used widely in microbiology and cell culture as well as microscopes that span from optical to scanning electron.
Getting the word out about science is a critical function of the scientific process. Science communication tools, therefore, are included in this gallery.
