Olympus BioScapes

Sponsored by Olympus, EKG will host Bioscapes2009, a dynamic international photo competition that honors the world's most extraordinary microscope images of life science subjects. "Microscope images forge an extraordinary bond between science and art," said Osamu Joji, Olympus America's Vice President and General Manager for the Scientific Equipment Group. "We founded this competition to focus on the fascinating stories coming out of today's life science research laboratories. The thousands of images that people have shared with the competition over the years reflect some of the most exciting work going on in research today - work that can help shed light on the living universe and ultimately save lives. We look at BioScapes and these beautiful images as sources of education and inspiration to us and the world."

The FAB Show

Imagine being able to manufacture (almost) anything from your home – or at your office; from ceramic pottery to a custom iPod case. The Klein Gallery at the Science Center will feature three dimensional works of art and design created from digital data.

The FAB Show will feature several digital fabricators or 'Fabbers' - small, self-contained factories that can make almost anything, right on your desktop. Fabbers use 3-D printing technology to create solid objects from digital data. The FAB Show will feature two open-source Fabber projects Fab@Home and MakerBot, along with artists, designers and researchers who are currently using this technology including Sabin+Jones LabStudio, Mark Ganter and Bathsheba Grossman. Throughout the run of this exhibition there will be live demonstrations and scheduled workshops for community members to interact with this emerging technology.
