We do more than just making things pretty.  Think of an anatomical feature that’s too difficult to capture, a molecule too small to be seen, or a series of interactions with too many uncertainties in between –– it takes more than an eye for aesthetic to interpret the data at hand, and synthesize the data into visuals.
