What is a photo-research exhibit?

​Photo-research exhibits are a science communication tool. They combine powerful images of real scientists with data from empirical studies to communicate messages about equity in science.

Images and data are paired with objects from science labs to create an immersive learning experience. 
All exhibits are developed to: 
1) Celebrate real scientists & their science
2) Link experiences with evidence from research studies
3) Inspire discussion about equity, diversity & inclusion in  science​
What do people think?
“It’s a great visual wake-up call, done respectfully, but not quietly either.”
​-Exhibit Patron
"It was empowering to be involved with this exhibit. I tell women in STEM to build their networks - find their supportive communities - and being involved in this exhibit made me feel more connected to my network of like-minded, supportive, women (and allies) in STEM. It was also a fun and very different kind of experience for me, as a long-time scientist - who rarely gets the opportunity to be involved in different approaches to telling our stories."
