Felice C. Frankel is an award-winning science photographer and research scientist in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Working in collaboration with scientists and engineers, Frankel has had images appear in the New York Times, National Geographic, Nature, Science, PNAS, Newsweek, Scientific American, Discover, Popular Science, and New Scientist, among others.

"“Science is beautiful. Of course, that’s true abstractly, but in this book, Frankel shows how it can be visually beautiful too. She’s your skillful friend who will inspire you with the possibilities and then teach you the nuts and bolts to get started creating arresting graphics that tell a clear scientific story. Make sure you have a pencil nearby; your fingers will be itching to start sketching your science.” -- Siri Carpenter, cofounder and editor in chief of ""The Open Notebook"" and editor of ""The Craft of Science Writing"""
