Abstract
This article explores some of the issues associated with the visual communication of science and emphasizes the important role of research in contributing to public understanding of visual science. The visual literacy requirements of scientists and science communicators are highlighted through in-person interviews. This article also suggests a number of research opportunities based on the scenarios that are described. Two areas of interest—visual literacy and collaborative approaches to science communication—are emphasized.

The metaphor of cutting planes is extended to allow users to carve non-planar cross-sectional cuts through their data sets to directly benefit applications such as medical visualization where one might want to generate curved coronal cross-sections of lumbar spines; and in oceanography where one may want to compare numerical model output against data obtained along non-Planar ship tracks.
