Her photographs have graced the cover of the pre-eminent journal Science and the halls of MoMA. Her accolades and recognition stretch from a Guggenheim Fellowship to the prestigious Lennart Nilsson Award for medical, technical, and scientific photography. She has appeared in print and in person everywhere from the NYT, to the University of Toronto’s Department of Physics to the National Science Foundation to Apple.com.

She is Felice Frankel; a largely self-taught photographer and scientist, a product of Midwood High School and Brooklyn College, currently a Senior Research Fellow at Harvard University and research scientist at MIT, and — in the interest of full disclosure — my aunt!

Ms. Frankel took an idea that was previously off-limits — namely altering a scientific image — and, using innate creativity, has turned the world of science communication and imaging on its head.

Time to grease up those pots and pans — using organic veggie oil of course. The Green Edge Collaborative Supper Club hosts sustainable food author Sherri Brooks Vinton at Rebar this Sunday (4/27, 5pm).

Says Carolyn Gilles — founder and director of Green Edge — about Ms. Brooks Vinton and her book Real Food Revival:

“The book is a personal favorite; Sherri really lays out the ins and outs of eating sustainably - a great resource for getting started with REAL FOOD!”

That is quite an endorsement coming from Ms. Gilles, someone who knows sustainable food!
