Places & Spaces: Mapping Science March 7, 2011
University of Michigan, Michigan 48109
Are you interested in seeing science from above? Curious to see what impact one single person or invention can have? Keen to find pockets of innovation? Desperate for better tools to manage the information flood? Or are you simply fascinated by maps?
The "Places & Spaces: Mapping Science" exhibit demonstrates the power of maps to navigate and manage physical places but also abstract topic spaces. It introduces knowledge mapping techniques to the general public. It is meant to inspire cross-disciplinary discussion on how to best track and communicate human activity and scientific progress on a global scale.
The exhibit includes over 60 maps, interactive globes, illuminated diagrams, hands-on activities, and a wealth of information for researchers and map enthusiasts, alike.
Several University of Michigan faculty created maps included in the exhibit: Santiago Schnell, Molecular and Integrative Physiology; Lada Adamic, School of Information; M. E. J. Newman, Physics; Jeff Horon, Medical School; Helena Buhr, Natalie Cotton, and Jason OwenâSmith, Sociology and Organizational Studies.
Please join us at the "Places & Spaces" opening reception on March 10, 4-6 pm.
Free and open to the public. Hatcher Grad Library Gallery, 913 S. University Ave, Ann Arbor. Public parking is available in the structure at 650 S. Forest St., just south of S. University Ave.

Thanks! I received notification of your reservation, and I'll send you the detailed agenda as follow up with directions and hours. You should received a confirmation from Amazon Payments -- let me know directly if you don't. I'll process the charges on the day of the class. See you there.

I'm travelling from Canada, so I need to make sure the class isn't going to be cancelled due to attendance. Can you tell me if you have enough people already.
Thanks!

Looks like a great event.
Where's the best place to park? (I have to drive in from Newberg - there isn't a high speed train yet)
