Grabbing people's attention by creating a more interesting image is essential to engage a viewer in a scientific subject, writes Felice Frankel, an MIT expert and scientific photographer. In an article for the Conversation, she says that anyone can easily create a more interesting image to engage a viewer and get them to pay attention. For years, as a science photographer, I've been trying to persuade my colleagues in research that they can create more compelling images of their work.

Choosing to look at science might very well be the first step in having important conversations about the world around you.
