Richard Klavans and Kevin Boyack mapped different scientific disciplines to
show their relationships with each other, and where the research is being done.
You can find what disciplines are studied by geographical location, industries,
institutions, or topics. They analyzed 1.6 million scientific articles to contruct
the maps! For example: the map on the left represents all the disciplines; the
map on the right shows that in Boston, research is primarily concentrated in
the medical field (red). Link. More information here. -via Metafilter

I’m the graphic designer for the Places & Spaces exhibit, of which this map is a
part of. I just thought I’d post the exhibit webpage and let everyone know there
Misc.

Thanks for sharing this work. I lead a non profit based in Chicago and use maps to
show where poverty and poorly performing schools are most concentrated, and » Lifestyle
where existing non-school tutor/mentor programs are located. My goal is that the » Ad Info
maps draw more distributed resources to all of the neighborhoods with high
poverty, resulting in more comprehensive programs for youth in these areas. You
can see samples in the Program Locator at http://www.tutormentorconnection.org
Do you know of anyone who is duplicating the map of science project, by mapping
the research that’s been created about poverty, racism, and education deficits in
America? Such an aggregation of information might help us connect more people
from beyond poverty with kids and tutor/mentor programs in poverty areas.
Our maps are created by volunteers, so if our project is of interest to any of your
network, we’d like to have your help.
